Hello,
I've been trying to log onto Compuserve via my ISP with Doscim, which
is a Dos user interface for Compuserve. This hasn't been an easy
process (for someone with a limited knowledge of scripting and PC
communication protocals). Recently I've been making some progress
however.
Doscim has limited communications options when it comes to the
internet. It can access the int14 interface, and this is a feature that
Kermit supports.
Here's what I've been trying to do
1) Run an int14 "emulator"
2) Start a DOS PPP dialer which then uses Kermit to dial my ISP
3) Launch epppd an ethernet emulator which supports bootp
4) Launch a telnet application which I can use to connect to
Compuserve.
5)Shell to DOS and launch Doscim
So far, I've managed to get to step four. I can use either Kermit or
NCSA telnet to connect to Compuserve. When I try to shell to DOS to
launch Doscim I get a "not enough memory message"
I've also tried to use net14.exe which is packaged with NCSA telnet.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work either.
Is there a way to get a connection with Kermit and have it take up a
small amount of memory when I shell to DOS? Is there a small Dos Telnet
program out there that does the trick?
I'll post the script I'm using to log on to my ISP. It is basically a
modified version of the script Antonio Lopez Molero includes in
dosppp06.zip
Any and all help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Dialer.bat
set KERMIT=PATH D:\KERMIT
..\kermit\kermit take pppdial.scr
epppd
if errorlevel goto CONNERR
if exist currconn.cfg del currconn.cfg
copy myisp.dat currconn.cfg
echo Connection succesful
goto END
:CONNERR
echo Connection failed...
call ip-up.bat
:END
The pppdial.scr kermit uses.
