I think that a BA80 will work. A Siemens 97801 probably works well with
SINIX workstations and servers, not DIPOS-based computers.

I know it. I was trying to ask for a way to provide the identification
package to the computer PLC from Kermit, not the emulation itself.

A Nixdorf BA80 should work fine for 8860/70/90 computers, Siemens 97801
is better for SINIX servers (great Unix servers, I was looking for one).

I know C-Kermit depends on the operating system and does not have
terminal emulations, I am sorry this mistake.
Thanks Frank,
