Yes, pktmux in combination with cslipper. I don't think dosppp uses
compression? (slirp can be used if you have a shell account and don't
have cslip) can be used to run mskermit as a telnet concurrently with
winsock applications. You can run a script that connects using mskermit
and runs packet driver to establish tcp/ip serial protocol, then pktmux
and pseudo-packet drivers are run for both kermit and winsock.
Finally window is run and opens with winsock running and an icon set up for
kermit telnet. Use the winsock ethernet packet driver option and a recent
version of cslipper with ethernet argument. It is very important to use a
recent version of pktmux, there are many versions of pktmux around that will
not work. I think the most recent version is "h".
You will probably have to limit or eliminate flow control including the
the initial kermit serial connection. Even so it works well and is robust-
the problems with pktmux must involve complex and difficult evironments.
Of course this is just an expediency until you make that big kermit95
purchase! or if you only have windows or wfwg.
I don't use windows but kermit and cslipper makes a great telnet for
arachne . Why not use the best instead of what is supplied. The
"kermit telnet" wrapper for arachne should be and may have to be a
compiled program. There are compilers for bat and bat-like languages at
oakland. It is somewhat surprising to find that dosppp will not work out
of the box for kermit telnet in arachne but dosppp works quite well
with _other_ wattcp based programs.
