Thank you...I will start a path from that direction. This was my original
thought. I did not write the existing Kermit piece. My job was the cron
(written in Perl) that would kick off the kermit. As manual testing has
commenced, I finding the connection process very keystroke intensive. It
sounds like the kermit developer needs to add additional functionality into
his script.
thanks.
