Pretty straight forward. DO NOT USE KERMIT in an attach.cmd file.
In fact do not use an attach.cmd file at all.
Here is how I connect to Columbia's SLIP service.
STart SLIP.EXE
Execute ckermit -C "slip"
where the macro slip is defined as:
define slip-
access slipwatts,-
input 5 >,-
output login\13,-
input 5 login:,-
output jaltman\13,-
input 5 password:,-
output firehorse\13,-
input 5 >,-
output slip\13,-
set port com1,-
!bootp sl0,-
telnet kermit
and slipwatts is a services directory entry:
slipwatts nologin xxxxx call hayes slipcom1 57600 1-212-854-3726

The paragraph above says that SLIP should be started before C-Kermit.
You SLIP settings should be defined in your SLIP.CFG file in the ETC
directory. And the values of those settings should be received from
your SLIP provider.
I use BOOTP to get the IP Address information. If your provider
does not support it then you must use a series of INPUT commands
and the \v(input) variable to capture the necessary IP addresses
and then use ifconfig to install them.
