: Hmmm. Maybe we should tell you to complain to NCSA about the
: lack of scripting etc in their product rather than us jumping through
: hoops with ours to help you run theirs.
Not really many hopes but the in general I didn't seem to find
much insight on using kermit for slip. Yes I did see the article with the
docs.
I wanted to complain I would do so. BTW this wasn't a complaint
if your ego is too fragile to handle it sorry. But it was a request for
information.
: May I make two serious suggestions?
: 1. Read the user's manual. It's there to help you generate your
: own scripts.
I have read the manual and have gotten a small feel for kermit scripting
but I would not consider myself a pro at this and I am sure there many
people out there who are very good at this.Ergo instead of trying a hack
at it myself I figure I wouldn't post a to a news groups that would
know better. If you don't proclaim to know better keep you comments to
yourself!:
2. Use MS-DOS Kermit for Telnet. It's better, amongst other things.
: Joe D.
To this all I can say is I use what works. First I want to get a
something working that works and I know. The tinker with something new. I
am sure you would agree it's better to have a old car in working order
than a new Cadillac (or what have you) sitting in the garage requiring
you to figure the firing order for it. Regardless I do plan to
evidentually move to ms-dos kermit.
"It's better, amongst other things." Lacks any evidence or
support if you care to support you claims please do so. I am eager to
hear about it's better benefits afterall being new to Kermit some insight
you be beneficial.
LAST OF ALL. What the point of this news group if not to answer
the questions and queries of the less knowledgable.
