I ecountered a simmilar problem while using kermit (and Forsberg's XYZ-
modem):
the kermit (not the xzy-modem!) works just fine (well, it doesn't crash)
when I invoke it on the line, I'm doing the transfer on (term/ser). But
when I invoke either of the programs from a console instead using the -l
option to set the line (and redirection with xyz-modem), I get another
(kernel-) panic. :-(
