-----------
It's DOS Merge. I tried the same thing with my UnixWare 2.01
machine and received the same session hang. I had to open another
Telnet session to kill off items. True whether MS-DOS Kermit is
run from the console or from across the net. Killing either of Merge's
processes crt or tkbd clears up the matter. MSK is doing only very
legit DOS and Bios work during startup (and throughout actually),
no undocumented or cute tricks.
Conclusion: Merge has problems. Perhaps the Locus folks will get
this message and see if things can be fixed. [MSK does run fine with all
versions of DOS 2 and above, in DOS boxes of OS/2, NT/Daytona, Windows 2&3,
Windows 95, and with DESQview.]
