I have been using mskermit (version 3.13 and 3.14) to connect to the
UNIX account through a modem from my PC at home. The Xyplex terminal
server for the UNIX account supports SLIP, CSLIP, PPP. Using the
packet drivers slipper.exe, cslipper.exe, I have succesfully made the
connection though the internel TCP/IP support of mskermit. It works
great.
However, it seems that mskermit does not work with PPP. I am using the
Merit packet driver ppp.exe (from EtherPPP.zip). The parameters that I
set for the TCP connection must be right, since the same parameters
(IP addresses, gateway, nameservers, etc) work well with NCSA telnet,
CUTCP, WATTCP. Going through the documents of kermit, I only find that
mskermit supports Telbits(spelling?) PPP. Am I still doing something
wrong?
BTW, using my 1.44k (V.32bis) modem (with V.42 error correction,
V.42bis data compression enabled), I can still only get ~1.2kbytes/s
for down loading (in CSLIP) for pre-compressed files (zip files). I
have tried everything: (a) set the modem right (b) set receive
packet-length, window, (c) control unprefixed (except for 0, 1, 155).
On the same line, with ftp from NCSA or CUTCP, 1.7kb/s can be achived.
