Hi Bud. Very quick answers:
1. Kermit does not do tn3270 itself. Hopefully this will change, but for
now you need to go through an external 3270 emulator or protocol
converter or tn3270 program, e.g. telnet from Kermit to UNIX or a Cisco,
tn3270 from there.
2. I really, really hope that network setup would be fairly clear from
the NETWORKS\SETUP.DOC file on the V3.14 diskette / ZIP file. If it
isn't, please send specific questions / problems to kermit@columbia.edu.
It really tries to start with the big picture first, and then devolves
into the details and different scenarios.
