I am quite new to this field and don't know kermit at all.
I have a question that I hope one of the kermit boffins can
help me solve.
We have a UNIX box running IMPACT software under XENIX at one site, and
a 486 DOS PC at a remote site. A printer is connected to the remote
"DOS" site. The two sites are connected via modem. The "DOS" site has
kermit installed on it.
Now for the problem. We would like to do remote printing from the XENIX
site on the DOS site's printer. Is there a way with kermit to do this, and
if so, how do you do it. Even a reference to a site with kermit FAQ's will
help. The DOS site is at a warehouse and usually "unattended". The XENIX site
would like to print orders at the warehouse "automatically", so that the
workers can just pick up the printout, and ship the order.
Any ideas will be welcome.
