Lessee now. RS-485 is HPIB in formal attire? My mind is a blank.
There is no such support in MS-DOS Kermit. Rather than raising the bridge
we can try the water-lowering strategy of using a shared medium with wide
support: Ethernet. MSK has its own TCP/IP stack that runs over either
Packet Drivers or Novell's ODI drivers for the boards. This means having
separate Ethernet wiring and such, and you may have that already.
If this is not satisfactory and you require RS-485 support then
it becomes a contractual development effort and you should talk with us
(Columbia and myself) directly.
