The first few times you use it you'll have to issue a few commands to set the port, baud rate, parity etc, but once you know what works these can be put in a start-up file which will be automatically read each time you start Kermit. Kermit comes in both Windows and Unix/Linux versions and will be available in most distros. Its a very powerful and useful tool for sorting out serial comms problems and can also be used over a network. Its both a terminal emulator and a file transfer utility. Martin
