Replying to myself: I found the .kermrc file below in a websearch and modified it to use /dev/tty00
; ; kermit settings ; set modem type direct set port /dev/tty00 set speed 9600 set carrier-watch off set flow none set parity none set block 3 set protocol kermit ; End Although it connected after that, Kermit from 5.3 packages was core dumping on certain file transfers. Looking for info on the core dump I found this: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckdaily.html 23 Aug 2011 A patch that fixes a core dump when transferring a file on 9.0.303 OpenBSD on Sparc64 (some inconsistencies in declarations between modules). The same problem could occur elsewhere but has not been noted or reported. Not marked as a test version since it will probably be released as-is, but I don't have time to do it right now. After compiling from the Kermit daily build source it is not dumping and works fine for what I have been using it for transferring files back and forth between the Loongson box and the device. Hope this might be useful to somebody else. /jl
