Hi Ian,
It sounds like you've got EPPPD to establish a PPP link, but are
having trouble configuring your application, MS-Kermit, properly.
Here are some tips.
1. It is very helpful to get your network parameters into DOS
environment variables. For example,
set MYIP=<your ip address (probably dynamic)>
and perhaps similary for some or all of GATEWAY, NETMASK and MSS.
This is not hard to do with DOSPPP, see its doc's.
2. When you invoke Kermit, make sure it does NOT "set port com1" (or
whatever com port your modem/ppp is on). If you do this, Kermit will
try to handle the serial port, fritzing the packet driver that's
already there. Instead, you need to do "set port tcp/ip" (see next
point).
3. Configure all the tcp/ip parameters in kermit. What I do is "take
tcpip.ini" where the configuration file TCPIP.INI contains something
like this (be sure to use your own nameservers and so on):
;=======================================================================
set tcp/ip address \$(MYIP)
set tcp/ip subnetmask 255.255.0.0
set tcp/ip domain cc.umanitoba.ca
set tcp/ip gateway \$(GATEWAY)
set tcp/ip primary-nameserver 130.179.16.67
set tcp/ip secondary-nameserver 130.179.16.8
set tcp/ip broadcast 255.255.255.255
; MSS would usually be 1448 for PPP
set tcp/ip mss \$(MSS)
set tcp/ip Packet-Driver-interrupt \x60
set tcp/ip newline-mode on
set tcp/ip debug-Options off
set tcp/ip host pollux
; This must *replace* "set port COMn"
set port tcp/ip
def session set port tcp \%1, con
; TELNET macro, and macros for telnetting to particular hosts
; using appropriate terminal type.
; \%1 = IP host name or address
; \%2 = TCP port (optional, default is 23)
; \%3 = terminal type (optional)
;
define telnet -
set flow none,-
set port tcp \%1 \%2,-
if def \%3 set term type \%3,-
pause 0, if fail end 1, connect ; pause is enough to start connection
set window 4
echo TCP/IP setup implemented.
;=======================================================================
Hope this helps,
Frank
