Well, the file doesn't say to add any lines to your own NET.CFG file that
are unique to the sample file. Heck, some of the lines in the sample
NET.CFG might bring down the network connection on my machine. Advice is
given on carefully modifying the NET.CFG, but there is little hint of
what MUST be added. After reading the setup file the first time, I
thought that the only change I might want to make would be the optional
bind to a specific card, which was a moot issue since I only have one card.
So, I made no changes to the NET.CFG, and nothing worked. Everything
else that runs on that machine uses the IPX protocol for the Ethernet
packets, and I had no reason to assume that
Kermit was an exception. I assumed that the other Protocol lines were
for different applications.
