Hmm, well, here's what I would take a crack at...
1) See if there isn't a macro that connects you to a machine and
changes something around. Do you connect by hand (set port tcp ...) or
do you have a macro handle all of this?
2) Need more information for this one. What type of network, etc...
3) What was the original functionality that doesn't work now. Are you
sure that you didn't change some local setting somewhere in your
mscustom.ini after upgrading?
4) Terminals and Terminalr don't exist anymore. Check the *.upd and
*.bwr files. Their funcionality has been replace by using apc command
codes. If you look at the C-Kermit ini files, you will see a bunch
of macros that use apc to send sequences down to the pc to do
``one-sided'' file transfers.
5) Hmmm... I don't know what to say for this one.
Hope this helped a little.
