Hi Rick:
There are some internet utilities for dos. You might want to check out
the major sites like cdrom.com or oak.oakland.edu. I've seen them and have
a few on my BBS. But I can't remember the names of them at this time.
However, if you have windows 3.1 or WFWG you can use trumpet. It will
allow you to do slip or ppp. You can even use trumpet for tcpip on a
network. I use it to network my dos/wfwg machine to my os2/box and
linuxbox via tcpip.
As far as DOS Kermit is concerned I don't use it. I'm using the Linux
version. Maybe someone else can assist you with that. But if the dos
version has telnet access, you may be able to run it from a DOS window
under Windows to access. If there's a windows 3.x version of kermit you
might want to try using that instead. Otherwise there is a Winsock
compatible telnet program with zmodem capability called Tera Term that's
fully functional.
Toodles!
