-----------
MS-DOS Kermit has an internal TCP/IP protocol stack. A "driver"
is normally a handler of a piece of hardware or similar, rather than a
large complex protocol stack.
As Arthur Marsh points out in a previous reply, MSK can use its
internal TCP/IP stack and it can run over the top of TCP/IP stacks from
other vendors: Novell, FTP Inc, Beame and Whiteside.
There's no need to be a truely stupid ASCII terminal in this
situation. Use the sophisticated terminal emulation capabilities of MSK
and have your Unix machine exploit it's terminfo/termcap. The results
are worth it. VT320 is recommended, fall back to VT220 if the Unix machine
does not know about VT320's.
Please do review the documentation accompanying the MSK release
because we try to explain many of these things there. Quick start kit is
binary file kermit/bin/msvibm.zip on kermit.columbia.edu.
