The documentation for providing incoming connections is in the INF file.
However, C-Kermit is not a telnet daemon. The incoming connections can
only be used to provide peer-to-peer chat or kermit server operations.
The reason this support is required under OS/2 is that telnet daemon's
on OS/2 do not provide clean connections which can be used for Kermit
file transfer.
If you want incoming telnet services then you will need a telnet daemon
such as is provided in OS/2 Warp Connect.
