I would like to automate a kermit session between two hosts
in a shell script (or DOS batch file, either way is acceptable).
The two computers in question are connected directly via a serial
connection (null modem cable) or via a local network.  The goal
is to have one computer (either a DOS or Unix host) connect to
a Unix computer, establish a remote kermit server, jump back to
the connect-initiating computer, send files, and then finish the
remote server on the Unix computer.

I can do this manually, with no difficulty.  I am struggling
with getting past the "login/password" sequence on the remote
Unix computer, as well as the "escape back to initiating computer"
character sequence, in both Unix shell script and DOS batch files.
Any help with automating this procedure from DOS batch files or
Unix shell scripts would be most appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
