Right, page 447+ has information on Nightly Polling but it seems to
deal mainly with logging in to systems that require logins (like unix
systems) and starting kermit once logged in. I don't see anything
dealing with dialing up a DOS box from a multiuser system for
polling. I may just not be reading between the lines enough. In any
case I was hoping someone had done this and could offer pointers or
send me a file that I could build on to set this up without having to
go through a trial and error process to poll the DOS systems. We have
used BLAST for this in the past but have not been happy with their
multiplatform "support" or their prices since their push toward
Microsoft's junk and have placed our faith in your products as a
result.

- to buy the C-kermit and DOS-kermit in the hopes that someone would
"come through" on this. I guess since this thread seems to have died
with your comment I am on my own. I am a bit disappointed with the
lack of response. Oh well, at least you have our money.
