Joe, thanks for your response!
When I said "background", I meant that Kermit would be running as an
MS-DOS session under WINDOWS 3.11.
Now, I need to make a decision between implementing MS-DOS Kermit, or
UUPC. UUPC's server (uucico) runs as a dedicated Windows session,
which probably means it won't bog the system down as much as MSK
will running as a DOS session. However, from what I've read, it would
seem that Kermit may be more reliable (although my connection is a
direct null-modem cable).
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions regarding UUPC vs. Kermit,
I would love to hear them.
