I hope that "Using MS-DOS Kermit" is fairly clear on this. Chapter
11 describes two ways of accessing MS-DOS Kermit from another
computer. (1) Point it at the desired communications device and
then put it in server mode, or (2) use the CTTY COM1 trick.
Unlike UNIX, you can't "log in" to an MS-DOS serial port. CTTY COMx
is almost what you want, but it is fraught with peril, as explained
in the book (i.e. not everything is redirected).
So in every case, you have to set things up from the PC's real
keyboard -- either a Kermit server or CTTY -- before expecting to
find anything there when coming in from the SGI.
