[Info-vax] modems and cxy08

[starchild]

Hello
This seems like it should be simple, but as always problems
I have a VAX 4000-500 VMS 7.3 with a cxy08 with ckermit 8.0.201.
I have connected to the cxy08 the bc19n-12 cable which is connected to
2 multitech modems.
I'm trying to use 1 for out going and the other for incoming.
Problem is when I try to dial out using kermit I get a no response
from modem. When I do a
show comm CTS/DTR/RTS is on. There are no switches on the multitech
except the on/off switch. I thought this would be a straight forward
run. Connect the modems run kermit and be
done.  According to the net the cxy08 has modem control, so I
shouldnot need null modems or
anything else. So what am i doing wrong.
tks
