UNiSYS 6000/50 and C-Kermit

[Bo Kullmar]

I was asked to install C-Kermit on a new UNiSYS 6000/50 computer. It is a
386 machine from Convergent. It is running System V/386.

It was version 4E(067) of C-Kermit that I did compile and install. I have
also version 4E(070) of C-Kermit but this version was not available on the
site.

The first question was if the machine was running System V.2 or V.3. It
had the new uucp, but uname did not give any information about this. It
only gave some kind of UNiSYS version number.

I did compile C-Kermit with "make att3bx" to get a System V.2 version with
the new uucp and with "make sys5r3" to get a System V.3 version. Both worked
but the V.2 compile did produce some warnings about invalid pointers. This
and the fact that UNiSYS when releasing the 6000/50 in Sweden this spring
did announce that it was running System V.3. The fact that I did not find
uugetty on the system pointed to System V.2 but other things pointed to
System V.3.

I did manage to install a modem on ECOM3 (/dev/tty003) and was able to dial
in to the system and run a test with both of the versions of C-Kermit. It
worked well.

After changing /etc/inittab and telinit q I did try to dial out from the
same line but this did not work. It just hang when I did "set line
/dev/tty003" in C-Kermit.

The questions are therefor:

Have anyone installed C-Kermit on UNiSYS 6000/50?

Is it running System V.2 or System V.3?

Has anyone solved the problem with dialing out from the C-Kermit on UNiSYS
6000/50?
