I've been doing this fairly recently (I have some boring classes where games come in handy :) ). Here is my ~/.kermrc (you have to be in the group dialout to open /dev/ttyS1) set port /dev/ttyS1 set speed 9600 set parity none set file type binary set carrier-watch off robust kermit can be a fairly annoying thing to use, so good luck.
