--------------
You don't have to do anything fancy at all. MS-DOS Kermit is
designed to run straight over ODI, as I thought you knew. The only time
shims (ODIPKT + WINPKT) are needed is when MSK runs in a Windows DOS box.
All NW 3 and 4 servers are shipped ready to route TCP/IP traffic at no
extra cost (just load the supplied TCPIP.NLM). Please see the docs in the
MSK 3.14 quick-start archive file kermit/bin/msvibm.zip on kermit.columbia.edu.
Just as a historical reminder: MS-DOS Kermit was the first non-Novell
TCP/IP program to run over ODI native mode, and I made publically viewable my
code to accomplish that task. Today a number of vendors offer native ODI
capability, and that's a good thing. That's not a claim on those vendors, but
rather a longer term view of how these programs fit together.
