What init string is the ppp-on routine using?  That works fine.
I usually use AT&F for everything.  AT&F1 for sportster to get hardware 
flow control.  That is the default for microcom (AT&F appears on the 
screen if you just type microcom and it tests every port).

Kermit needs ncurses.  I might use it anyway if I can't get microcom 
working, otherwise just copy over ftp and ncurses from BL1.  Another 
reason not to make BL1 go away - we can copy things from it.
