Make a KERMIT directory on your PC, download the MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 ZIP file
into it, and "unzip -d" it into a KERMIT. If you don't have a way to do this,
you can purchase MS-DOS Kermit on a diskette.
Then read the instructions in NETWORKS\SETUP.DOC and take it from there.
You will also need to find an appropriate PPP-to-packet-driver shim; that's
not included in the ZIP file. Other readers will probably offer suggestions.
