: First off, it's not C Kermit that you are running but a separate
: product, MS-DOS Kermit.
: As the documentation explains, MSK has its own internal TCP/IP
: stack, and it can be used as a pure ODI client (same as IPXODI or LWP/DOS).
: You need to create a proper NET.CFG file for ODI, and the Kermit docs give
: plenty of examples (don't be creative in NET.CFG, please). My guess is you
: skipped dealing with NET.CFG.
: Joe D.
Yes that was the problem all right. I had put the stuff in net.cfg
but I had two net.cfgs and either ms kermit wasn't finding it or
was getting the wrong one. Thanks for all who responded.
BTW this is the best newsgroup I have seen for the 'experts' responding.
You are to be congratulated and thanked.
