What version of Kermit are you running? Latest beta test is 3.14, revision
10, available at kermit.columbia.edu under the directory:
/kermit/test/bin/mstibm.zip
To automatically send/receive files via Kermit, please check out the
KERMIT.UPD file that comes with the beta. It explains how to engage
autoupload/download with Kermit.
NOTE: MS-Kermit must be version 3.14, and C-Kermit (assuming that is
what is on the host side) must be version 190.

To dial, type "dial xxx-xxxx" or edit the DIALUPS.TXT file and add
the phone number you wish to dial in the format specified in that file.
If I'm not mistaken, if you use the "dial" macro, it will connect
you. Otherwise, if you are a purist and want to do ATDT before the
phone numbers, then put a CONNECT at the bottom of your MSCUSTOM.INI.
>And why is it that Kermit comes with almost no documentation?
It comes with a *lot* of documentation. The KERMIT.BWR and KERMIT.UPD
file are both sets of documentation. If you issue a HELP at the Kermit
prompt, you get more information. While you are typing in a comment,
but you are not sure what to type in next, press a ?, and you will
magically get help for that command.
Indeed, you can learn almost everything there is to know about MS-Kermit,
programming scripts, macros, etc. (which aren't really all that hard!)
simply by using the information provided with the Kermit distribution.
>Or is the rumor that Kermit is "free" just a front for selling books?
Indeed - it is a rumour. Is it true? No.
