Preface
-------
I've read comp.protocols.kermit.misc, comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc, and
comp.protocols.ppp for months. I've read _Using MS-DOS Kermit:
Connecting Your PC to the Electronic World_, 2nd Edition, by Christine M.
Gianone. I've read README files. I've read "beware" files. I've read
'til I've felt like I never wanted to turn on my PC again.
I've spoken to people who don't know what PPP is, but who, despite their
ignorance, have installed it, "configured" it, and run Mosaic, Netscape,
Trumpet, Eudora, POPMail, and numerous other TCP/IP applications for
Microsoft Windows with it. I've been told, "I downloaded a file from
[name of Internet service provider deleted] and typed `INSTALL' at the Run
menu, then just started using it." ("It" is a program that reads mail and
USENET news, allows you to connect to remote sites, provides a means of
transferring files from remote archives, browses the World Wide Web,
graphically and sonorously, tunnels through Gopher space, fingers other
people, pings other places, and does the dishes.)
I own a 20MHz, i80386SX PC with 2MB of RAM and a 40MB hard drive. I
deleted Microsoft Windows 3.0 from my machine long ago.
I've been present on the Internet for several years. I was Assistant
Manager of the Internet SIG on DELPHI during its earliest days. My
employer thinks I'm a computer programmer. I got good grades in school.
Most of the time, I don't _feel_ stupid.
I admire the teachings of Joe Doupnik and marvel at his prolific
contributions to these news groups. I admit I've never understood
anything he's written.
I don't know why, but I want to run MS-DOS Kermit 3.13 over a PPP
connection instead of using Telemate 4.12 to dial up my UNIX shell
account. I guess I just don't want to feel left out.
Question
--------
Can I run MS-DOS Kermit 3.13 over a PPP (specifically, Merit PPP)
connection? If so, how? Exactly.
Acknowledgments
---------------
Thank you all, in advance, for spending many hours of your valuable time
helping to make my dream of a better life on the 'Net come true.
