I previously reported that I was happily using Kermit over epppd from
dosppp05, whereas others had complained that the combination did not
work. The reason this worked for me, apparently, was that I'm using
Kermit Version 3.13. It seems that Kermit 3.15 does not work with
dosppp05, but it does work with dosppp06.
I also reported that I couldn't get (any) kermit to work with (any)
epppd over a Ricochet wireless modem, though all other TCP/IP software
(NCSA telnet, Arachne, WATTCP applications) works fine. I've since
fixed that problem (I'm using it to post this message), but the
solution (which I found by accident) is bizarre.
The Ricochet modem connects to a serial port, which is COM1 on my
Libretto. The appropriate epppd incantation is
epppd com1 38400 asyncmap 0 namsrv 168.253.48.19 namsrv 198.6.1.1 modem crtscts
If I then tell kermit "set line tcp" AND "set port 2", everything is fine.
Yes, that was port 2--which does not exist (unless I've got a PCMCIA modem
in the slot, which I did not for these experiments). Kermit complains,
but correctly connects via epppd through the Ricochet mode. Failing to do
"set port 2", or doing "set port 1", results in Kermit being unable to
reach anything. This behavior is the same in 3.13 and 3.15.
I'm mildly curious why this works, but happy that it does.
