i hope i am not rehashing too much but i am still stuck.
i want to change the kermit settings on my unix pc so it will be a
server listining via tcp/ip and not the serial port. it is a sco unix
system v/386 release 3.2 maintanence suplement 4.1. the kermit appears
to be C-Kermit v 4F(085) [perhaps fro m1989?]. it came with the unix
box and i have no way to compile c programs on unix.
currently i have a unix shell script called kserver that 1) looks for
/usr/spol/uucp/LCK..tty1a and deletes it if it exists (i have sole
control here with kermit and uucp). then does a "kermit -x" so i can
see kermit work in server mode.
the .kermrc has the following lines "set line /dev/tty1a", "set baud
9600", "set par none" and "set file type binary".
its been acting fine as a kermit server for about 2 years with the
serial connection. but now i have to get rid of that cable/connection
and use tcp/ip. the unix box is now on the save network "wire" segment
as the other end of the serial connection (which is disconnected).
if i take out the .kermrc commands to set line and set baud and try to
do a set host <ipaddr> i get a you must use set line first error
message. if i try to do a set host command from in kermit i get a
message that says host is not a valid option.
i dont dare do anything drastic to my unix box 'cause it is in
production mode gathering other data. i do have a new sco unix box
being built with openserver 5.0.5. but of course that wont be ready for
some weeks and i need to keep going in the meantime.
any idea how i can get this unix server to continue as a "server"?
thanks for your patience and advice,
