Kermit 7.1.199: change modem config

[Willem Grooters]

We're using C-Kermit for external connections, but there is a problem with the modem. The one used is ALMOST the same as a standard Kermit one but need slight chnages in speed settings. So we need an adjustment in the configuration - or add another modem type. It must be possible but we cannot find where and how.

Hi Willem,

Did you consult the manual at
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckututor.html
especially the section about "Dialing with a Modem" ?
There is stuff like "set modem type" and "set speed"

Regards,
Kris (aka Qkcl)

Willem,

Send your details to kermit-support@columbia.edu

I have found the response time to be far better
than that for support services that costs lots
of money...

Have you tried using the latest C-Kermit (8.0.211)?

Regards
Dave.

Kris,

I guess you are referring to sequences like
(taken from that manual):

define mydial {
set modem type usrobotics
set port /dev/ttyS0
if fail end 1
set speed 57600
dial \%1
if success connect
}


Suppose I have a modem that is ALMOST like usrobotics in this example. Mind you"ALMOST. So I'd like to make another modem type - copied from the USROBOTICS one and change the appropiate items. But where to find that? There must be somewehere withing Kermit of one of the initialization files where this is defined. THAT's =the info I'm looking for.

Dave,

I'll pass this to the requestor - we should add this in our address books. I don't know why they use 7.1.119 - probabbly because it ain't broke so there is no need for a new version ;-)

The modem type table is compiled into the program. If you want to have a look at the sources: it's defined in CKUDIA.C, variable mdmtab, and used in CKUUS3.C.

That said, there's a type "user-defined", so you could

CKermit> SET MODEM TYPE user-defined usrrobotics

and make changes from there.
