I'm new to Kermit (and pretty unexperienced with this kind of programs).
I've got two linux computers which are connected via RS-232 serial interface. The connection works, when I open minicom on both of them, I am able to write on the other interface.
Next step would be to add a connection via Kermit because I want to send files through the interface. I've got a lot of questions how kermit basically works and the documentation is not really helping me out because tbh I don't really understand most of it and it doesn't start at my point of knowledge.
First of all, what do I have to open on the receiving machine? Also Kermit or Minicom?
I tried something like this:
set speed 19200
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
# Connect to the other computer using minicom
echo Connecting to the other computer...
set carrier-watch off
set flow-control none
connect
echo "Hello, this is a test message." > /dev/ttyUSB0
echo Message sent. Closing connection...
bye
I would be very thankful if someone could help me to get this working. At the moment, I get this error:
?SET SPEED has no effect without prior SET LINE
Sorry, you must SET LINE or SET HOST first
Which I don't really understand cause I'm setting the line (its the correct port of the receiving machine).
I looked for basic tutorials but didn't find any so if you know one, would be great, too!
Thanks in advance,
Johannes
