Yeah, right Frank! Like MS is gonna be concerned that someone elses
software won't work with their OS. HA! If The Kermit Project weren't
under development at a University I'm sure they would have tried to
absorb you or "kill you off" by now. ;-)
Since you mention my favorite OS ... Jeffrey, will that be available
in the OS/2 version? Would be tres cool to have another option for
dialing up a PPP connection. I have three now - InJoy Pro, IBM DOIP
and a REXX program. I can only use Injoy legally on one PC on the LAN
to provide DOD and NAT. IBM DOIP is not easy to set up and the REXX
program works ok but I have to manually place commands on the command
line with it. Looks like Kermit/2 with a PPP hand-off would do the
trick for me, especially since I have several numbers available to
dial my ISP and it's a PITA to try them one at a time with the REXX.
I could probably patch up the REXX code to handle a list of numbers
and to check for failed PPP dialing but I've not found the time to do
that yet.
