------------
You can have multiple Packet Drivers on a given machine, each
talking to separate hardware of course. Each must be assigned to a
different software interrupt. Just tell MSK which interrupt to use,
via SET TCP PACKET-DRIVER-INTERRUPT number.
How a Packet Driver deals with PPP and your modem is a matter
for the maker of that piece of software, not for Kermit.
Notice your leading question does not make much sense: DOS is
single tasking and thus there are not two communications programs
running at the same time on different Packet Drivers on the same machine.
