  19. You cannot start up a PPP session using kermit.  You need
  20. to run a PPP Daemon to start PPP, such as pppd on Unix or
  21. Win95's dial up networking.
  22.  
  23. Once you have PPP running, then you can use Kermit as a
  24. telnet client.  The command "set network tcp/ip" simply
  25. tells Kermit to behave as a telnet client, rather than
  26. trying to access a serial communications port directly.
  27. It doesn't actually manage the network link, as pppd does.
  28.  
  29. I hope this helps.
