Can anyone inform me where one may obtain a copy of Kermit suitable
for an Apple II GS? A colleague has this old machine but wishes to
provide Internet access for their child and cannot afford a contemporary
machine. Any help is appreciated.
PLEASE RESPOND DIRECTLY TO: RATZAN@UMDNJ.EDU
Kermit in a DOS window. It is nearly 100% repeatable when I use the
CompuServe Information Manager for Windows first, but it sometimes happens
when the DOS window is my first operation. Here is the workaround I found
when we hashed it out on this newsgroup a few months ago:
set com4 \x2e8 3
set port 4 ; Change if desired. If COM3 or 4, read KERMIT.BWR.
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
echo {Trying "set port 4" again}
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
sleep 2, set port 4
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
fatal {Try repeating TAKE MSCUSTOM.INI}
This has gotten MSK off and limping every time so far. I use a special
script that sets the speed at 19,200 bps, and I have optimized the DOS
window (full-screen, etc.), so that I draw only a few errors per
download. When I want reliable operation at 57,600 bps, I run MSK
from the "real" DOS. Then, it's a dream!
(I have a 486/66, Windows 3.1, mouse on COM1, 8 megs RAM, generous swap
file, no expanded memory, no exotic TSR's.)
