Subject: Using OS/2 C-Kermit 191 with SLIP.EXE

I am a little confused by some of the explanation in the "Updates to
Using C-Kermit" that comes with OS/2 C-Kermit 5A(191). In particular,
the section titled "Using C-Kermit to make SLIP connections". From
that section:
"Note that C-Kermit should not be used as part of an attachment
script, which is started by the SLIP driver itself, but should be
run as a separate command _after_ [emphasis mine] the SLIP driver
is started. Should scripting be required, you can use Kermit
scripts [..] to perform the same tasks as an attachment script."
Doen't this paragraph contradict itself? First it says not to use
C-Kermit as part of an attachment script, but then it says you CAN use
C-Kermit as an attachment script. What exactly is meant by this
paragraph?
A further but related question: let's say I want to use C-Kermit to
dial-up a slip server, and then start SLIP.EXE that comes with OS/2
Warp. How does one do this? In particular, what command-line options
should be given to SLIP.EXE? When should SLIP.EXE be started, before
reaching the server or only after starting the remote slip connection?
Maybe someone can give a careful explanation of how all the pieces fit

Was it just my imagination or weren't there more user contributions

kermit?

This is not a reasonable approach for more than a few people at a site
since it also doubles your wiring plant if you are using 10BaseT and
the number of IP addresses you need. And it's no help at all for
people who want to use a dial-up winsock to connect to a local
internet provider, then among other things, run scripted kermit
sessions to remote machines.
