Do any of those send an init string to the modem?

Some modems don't work properly until you send them the
correct init string (which varies from brand to brand).
For example: AT&F1&H1&R2L1

If you can find an init string in your pcplus, kermit or
Hyperterminal files, try entering that before you do ATDT.

How big is kermit? ncurses is around 250kb. However,
before you do the math, ldd kermit to make sure it doesn't
need ncurses itself (or some other library not in BL3).

BTW, BL3 comes with ldd (and file).

Cheers,
Steven
