Subject: [?] PPP and MS-DOS Kermit 3.13
Message-Id: <Czw5Ds.HDH@indirect.com>
Sender: usenet@indirect.com (System Operator)

I am able load the PPP packet driver from Merit Network, Inc.
(etherppp.exe, version 1.9.37 beta) and successfully make a connection to
my Internet service provider. Once connected, I start MS-DOS Kermit
3.13, patch level 17, and do this:
MS-Kermit>set port tcp/ip 165.247.1.10
MS-Kermit>connect
Resolving address of host 165.247.1.10 ...
Unable to contact the host.
The host may be down or a gateway may be needed.
?Cannot start the connection.
MS-Kermit>set port tcp/ip indirect.com
MS-Kermit>connect
Resolving address of host indirect.com ...
trying name indirect.com
Cannot read name server 165.247.1.3
Cannot resolve address of host indirect.com
?Cannot start the connection
MS-Kermit>
I _can_ successfully connect using the SLIP driver SLIP8250. Is it not
possible to use PPP instead of SLIP with MS-DOS Kermit? If it is
possible, how can I determine what is causing the problem?
Any suggestions or assistance will be greatly appreciated.
