Description:    Ubuntu 7.10
Release:        7.10

$ apt-cache policy ckermit 
ckermit:
  Installed: 211-4                        <--This one works, from Columbia Uni.
  Candidate: 211-8ubuntu1       <---This one is buggy.
  Version table:
     211-8ubuntu1 0

I'm using ckermit to "talk" to an embedded processor running u-boot via
a simple 3 wire serial null modem cable.  I.e. there are no control
lines in the connection, only Tx, Rx and Gnd.

Everything seems fine until I go to send a file with kermit protocol.
Kermit seems to change the line to CRTSCTS, preventing any further
communications.

stty -a < /dev/ttyS0 before and after shows that -crtscts changes to
crtscts with the send file command.

Removing Ubuntu's ckermit, and installing
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/ckermit_211-4_i386.deb then
works fine.

kermit settings I use that work with the version from Columbia Uni. are:
set line /dev/ttyS0
set speed 115200
set carrier-watch off
robust
