I've been doing this fairly recently (I have some boring classes where
games come in handy :) ). Here is my ~/.kermrc (you have to be in
the group dialout to open /dev/ttyS1)
set port /dev/ttyS1
set speed 9600
set parity none
set file type binary
set carrier-watch off
robust
kermit can be a fairly annoying thing to use, so good luck.
Cheers,
Chris
