Inquiry:
  I am new to Kermit, but I think that it can do what I'm trying to have
done.

I want to be able to dial out to a service which, upon connection, will
simply spume information back at me at 1200 baud.  I need to capture
about 2000 bytes of that information *and* I need to echo the information
back *as I receive it*.

So, as the data arrives at my end I need to copy it to a file *and* echo
it back.  Oh, and I have to watch for certain characters, too (so that I
know when to stop receiving and hang up the line).

Any info on how to... would be appreciated.

I look forward to any replies.
