--------
Think of matters this way. Host A is running an interactive
shell for your PC to Host A communications link, and bytes going to
or from that shell move along the wire to your PC. If you run a program
(say telnet) on Host A bytes still move the same way. Now, after logging
into Host B you put Kermit in server mode on it. You should be able
to "escape back" (that means on the PC, ALT-x to get the MSK prompt)
and issue get/send etc commands to that server Kermit. The gotcha may
be the Host A part is not transparent to material having control
codes such as Control-A (start of packet) and Control-M (carriage
return, end of packet) which are Kermit packet delimiters.
Basically this ought to work IF the Kermit on Host B can
talk down the telnet connection. So check the Host B part and maybe
you will be in luck.
