>............ thread about Kermit not working over dosppp
My experience is that Kermit over epppd from dosppp05 works for some
ISPs and not for others:
It works when dialed in to my office (fixed IP)
It works with Eunet Traveller (excellent service with POPs all over
Europe, I've used it with Kermit to connect to my office from the UK,
Switzerland, Austria, and USA). Dynamic IP.
It does not work with Ricochet (wireless modem service in
the Bay Area and a few other places). Dynamic IP.
The symptom is that Kermit cannot contact the nameservers and times out.
NCSA Telnet and WATTCP applications have no problems at all (nor does
Linux, but my old Libretto 20 is a bit too feeble to run Linux).
(The reason I'd like to use Kermit is that NCSA Telnet does not let me
map the alt-key combinations to work with Emacs; the Telnet is
excellent in other respects and includes a very fast FTP client, so
you can FTP back in to DOS for file transfer in the middle of a session).

I'm afraid v0.6 made no difference to my difficulty with Ricochet.
I've not tried other PPP drivers, since dospppd is so excellent in all
other respects.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?
John Rushby (make obvious adjustment to get my true email address)
PS. Does anyone have experience with IBM Globalnet while travelling?
Eunet Traveller has no service in Japan, so I'm thinking of switching.
