Like you, I found myself unable to run MSKermit 3.14 without an odipkt.com,
and not the one from the MSKermit package.
After your note on the net, I went back and added a couple of lines to my
net.cfg, and now it works.
It is hard to know which pieces need to be added. The sample net.cfg
certainly contains lines that don't apply to me. The lines below are the
simplest form that works for me, running Netware 3.11, netx as delivered
with my Xircom parallel port adapter, and Netware configured as some non-TCP
administrator saw fit.
The Xircom book explains that 802.2 is the default. Ours is 802.3, and the
book suggests that the "Frame Ethernet_802.3" line is necessary, so my
net.cfg used to just be the first two lines.
JoeD suggested a line of Protocol IPX 8137 Ethernet_II, which should
probably have been left out. The spec for IPX is a separate topic from
Kermit and TCP, and in my case is contrary to the default.
My system defaults to "ID 0" without the line, "ID 8137" with the line, and
of course, in my case, I am running IPX on 802.3, not _II.
With the "8137" line, I could no longer find a server for netx.
Now, with multiple sessions, and Wyse (yech!) emulation that I need for one
package, I can finally throw away the NVT/INT14/ProcommPlus for Windows junk
that I've had to live with, and use MSKermit again, like I have for years.
My initial tests show >25K per second transfer on my parallel port adapter.
My last goal for today, as the sun sets outside my window, would be to use
MSKermit as a "proxy" to transfer between two TCP hosts that are otherwise
not on speaking terms, or directly from TCPhost to RS232host.

JoeD:
Back off from this newsgroup a bit. I couldn't believe it when you
guys fired up this newsgroup, there is just so much volume out there
(the feeding trough, as you call it).
Left a post stew for a day or two. Someone will post an answer ;-)
Almost all of us are friends of Kermit. I'd hate to see you burn
out trying to sell someone who isn't.
