First off, it's not C Kermit that you are running but a separate
product, MS-DOS Kermit.
As the documentation explains, MSK has its own internal TCP/IP
stack, and it can be used as a pure ODI client (same as IPXODI or LWP/DOS).
You need to create a proper NET.CFG file for ODI, and the Kermit docs give
plenty of examples (don't be creative in NET.CFG, please). My guess is you
skipped dealing with NET.CFG.
