: Normally the remote host commands printing operations. The user

: This is not transparent printing, which must be commanded by the host.

I never bought that one... I have a few copies of Using C-Kermit, and K-95,
but no MSDOS copy... Maybe I should.
I set buffers=0 in my config.sys, and "log session lpt1" in my
mscustom.ini, and everybody is happy. The printout lags the screen by a
few lines, but that's fine. It used to be distracting to listen to the
printer printing exactly what you typed.
I couldn't turn on transparent printing from the host, because there is no
"host" per se, at least not for this purpose. It is just a command and
status terminal into a telephone switch.
It's a good thing MSKermit is so flexible... No need to worry what it is
connecting to. Thanks.
