I will be using c-kermit for a client but the commands I'm currently
trying to interpret are embedded in utilities which establish a
serial connection to a closed system (for purpose of data retrieval).
Unfortunately, the source is not available and the utilities run on
the wrong OS... therefore I currently have to run the utilities on 1 OS
to retrieve data, but then transfer data to another server for processing.
I'd like to use c-kermit on the processing machine to script the entire
process so that it may be automated and bypass the need for the
utilities completely.
With a data-scope I'm able to see the packets going back and forth,
which is why I asked a second question about the lineout command
(unaswered question follows):
>> If I were to use the 'lineout' command to output my own 'packet' (i.e.,

If the answer to that question is yes, the next question is:
how can the lineout command be used to transfer (packet data) commands
from a disk file?
Thanks for the quick response previously :-)
