I have been waiting for almost 10 years to throw out the serial cables to
my VAX. I would rather have a solution now than wait for eventually to
happen. Besides, who knows how the Tek emulation will work in C-Kermit.
Since there is no standard for switching between graphics and text,
MS-KERMIT may behave differently than C-KERMIT. For both reasons, I would
like to get MS-KERMIT working with IBM TCP/IP.

OK. So I tried. Thanks to the guy who told me how. (It is not documented in
WARP CONNECT):
The INT 14h interceptor included in WARP and WARP CONNECT is called
COMTCP.EXE and is located in the TCPIP/DOS/BIN directory. When I try to use
it by typing
COMTCP host kermit.exe
with KERMIT set to (SET PORT BIOS1), then I get an exception in my DOS box.
I have to close the DOS box. I tried a variety of different things, but
without success. The location changes. The register contents are not
reproducible. (If they were, I could post them here.)
Reportedly, this functionality was working with MS-KERMIT 3.13 (more or
less) and was broken with MS-KERMIT 3.14. I also heard that I am not
supposed to use (or obtain) MS-KERMIT 3.13 anymore.
Question: Is this something that can be fixed by changing KERMIT or does
it require changes in the TCP/IP code from Raleigh.
The whole reason I bought and installed WARP CONNECT was because the
TCP/IP developers told me at a conference that KERMIT would run with the
INT 14h interceptor of the DOS access kit included with IBM TCP/IP.
I guess they meant ``should work in principle''. I am sure they will not do
anything to fix their TCP/IP product, since they don't like VAXes.
Therefore, I see no point in reporting this as a bug to IBM.
Do you guys at Columbia have any flavor of OS/2 (>2.0) together with the
DOS access kit from TCP/IP for OS/2 (version 2.0 or better). If so, can
you give this a try and see what happens on your machines ?
I realize this is a lot to ask from the developes of a free product.
