Unfortunately, it seems to be a crossing of rev levels.
The Kermit SOCKS is 4.2. If the SOCKS-5 server is returning an error
message, it may be something unexpected by Kermit, although I suppose it
could say that the problem is in SOCKS somewhere.
An annoying side effect of this is snooping.
Shortly after I made the adjustment, adding a SOCKS-5 driver, the sysadmin
asked me what "rahul.net" was. Later, he noticed that I wasn't able to
reach a web site (the SOCKS driver was supposed to overlook Internet
Explorer, letting http go through a different set of proxy nonsense).
So now, I think the next step will be subliminal enforcement of the notice
"corporate networks are only supposed to be used for business".
