Kermit works fine with PC DOS. The current version is 3.14.
If you install it properly and read the directions, you should
not have any problems. If, after doing so, then get back with
some specifics. MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 is available as follows:
Anonymous ftp to kermit.columbia.edu,
directory kermit/archives,
binary mode,
file msvibm.zip.
If you had a previous version of MS-DOS Kermit, and you
want to install the new version over it, first make safe copies of
your MSCUSTOM.INI and DIALUPS.TXT files, as well as any other
file you might have modified.
Then unzip (with PKUNZIP or equivalent) using the "-d" switch to
preserve the directory structure. Then read the top-level READ.ME
file for further installation instructions.
For complete, step-by-step instructions on using MS-DOS Kermit, please
purchase the manual:
