Presumably I could start up Internet Explorer (which auto dials on
demand) from within kermit which could make the ISP connection leaving
it available for me to use for my kermit ftp connection and upload,
leaving it to time out the ISP connection after no activity, say 10
minutes. A bit messy but....
