Hi there out there in Net-Info-land
I would like to use kermit under windows v3.1, I also have
Trumpet winsock installed. Is there any way to get the two
to work together or, another way to use Kermit under the
windows environment.
Also, I know kermit can set and check the status of the COM ports
(COM1 to COM4 is UART or not) using the SET BIOS COM2 command for
example. But is there a way of checking that the com port kermit
will use is not in use by any other device or application before
kermit is invoked?
Please email me any suggertions or examples of how to overcome
these obsticles.
Thanks in advance...
