Hallo Rod!
2. You can just login normal on your ttyS0 and then do an "exec ckermit".
This would work, except the serial port in question is to be connected
to a device, and my purpose for running C-Kermit (as well as other
applications) is to talk to the device. I want to run kermit on the host
with the serial port; perhaps there was some confusion about that.
Currently I do not understand what your trouble is. It seam to me, you
want to suspend your getty only temporarily? So what is wrong with this
solution?
If you are running kermit, you normally need it on both sides, that is
on the host and on your linux board.

Okay, I used C-Kermit as an example of something that uses the serial
port. I don't need to use the kermit file transfer protocol; just the
terminal emulator (as an alternative to, say, minicom). There are also
other applications (locally written) that I need to use from time to
time that talk to serial *devices* attached to the port. Logins to the
host would occur using ssh in that circumstance.
Hope that adds some clarification.
