Apparently-To: kermit.misc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu
MS-DOS has changed a lot since I have used it last. Now it has network
connections over many protocols. However, now that many PCs have
bidirectional parallel ports, is there a way of using Kermit to connect
two PCs through their parallel ports and transfer files between them?
In networking terms, Kermit would still be the application, but down at
the data link and physical levels, a parallel port would be used instead
of a serial port. It seems like this should be simple and maybe even
possible in a way that's not obvious to me.
So, can it be done now? Is it possible that it might be implemented
soon?
