On C-Kermit, "show server" does not show remote kermit at all (nor can I
enable/disable it). On MS-DOS Kermit, "show server" shows KERMIT and I
can enable/disable it. When it is disabled, the MS-DOS Kermit server
gives a "command disabled" error when I attemp to perform a remote kermit
command. When it is enabled, MS-DOS kermit "misbehaves". If I take the
command file shown below on the remote C-Kermit with MSK's remote kermit
disabled, I get a "command disabled" error and MSK returns to connect
mode after the finish command. If I take the same command file with
MSK's remote kermit enabled, I get no error message and MSK returns to
the Kermit prompt (instead of connect mode) after the finish command.
Is this simply because MS-DOS Kermit doesn't have remote kermit properly
"stubbed out"? If so, should I put "disable kermit" in my mscustom.ini
file to prevent this misbehaving?
