>You cannot start up a PPP session using kermit.
After many years of using tip, finding ckermit for UNIX changed my life.
One of the most useful ckermit commands is "redirect". Using redirect
I was able to write scripts that would call my machine at work, fire
up pppd on the remote end, and then the script would "redirect pppd" on
the local end. Viola ckermit used as a ppp dialer.
This script was then modifiec to call the remote machine and then
tell it to call me back in 2 minutes and fire up a ppp connection.
This mechanism worked for months until I replaced my modem with an ISDN router.
So what is this about not being able to use ckermit as a ppp dialer?
