Let's go into greater detail offline. But for mass consumption:
there is no standard for the messages that come from terminal
servers when you make SLIP or PPP connections to them, so there
is no single Kermit script that can be used in all situations.
You have to figure out how to capture the IP address from the
terminal server's message, using the techniques described in the
manual (OUTPUT, INPUT, string functions, etc).
Presumably all you want to do at this point is hand the
connection off to your system's SLIP driver and then use your
regular TCP/IP programs (including Kermit, of course, but this
time with its TELNET command, rather than SET LINE) over the
SLIP connection. I'm not sure what the procedure for this
"handing off" would be in AIX, but in general it's a bit tricky
in UNIX getting two processes to share the same tty device.
In any case, another hint is to see if you can get your network
administrators to install BOOTP service in the terminal server.
In that case you don't need to parse the IP address from the
terminal server's message and then install it on your system --
you just make the SLIP connection and then tell you system to
issue a BOOTP request for its IP address and related parameters.
