Hello -
I was asked to get an RS-232 link running between an EZ-TRAX milling-
machine controller and a PC running Windows NT 4. EZ-TRAX is running
MS-DOS 6.2.
The first thing that crossed my mind was to use Kerlite on EZ-TRAX and
Kermit 3.15 on the PC-box floppy-booted to Windows 98SE. That works
and files can be moved back and forth. Good. However.. this is
awkward. Kermit 95 on NT would be much better.
But there is another problem..
The keypad connected to the EZ-TRAX controller has only a few
keys.. and no Ctrl-C or a way to generate one. And while issuing
FINISH from Kermit works to terminate server-mode, I wanted to press
-ESC- on the keypad and have it get translated to Ctrl-C. A local
abort.
Now I have a TSR that intercepts the Int 0x16 call and replaces 0x011B
with 0x2E03. Kermit still does not recognize the ..artificial..
Ctrl-C.
Suggestions? I'm happy recommending Kermit 95 on the NT side.. but am
unsure how to get a local abort feature into the server side running
on the EZ-TRAX system.
Regards,
Mark Becker
