I think we covered this in the MSK release documenation. The
answer is yes. Novell's Domain Name Server procedures live separately
from their TCP/IP stack, alas. To engage DNS lookups start a connection
with TELAPI loaded and transitory helper program TSU available.
Then use the Kermit macro "telapi" (could have chosen another
name) below to start a connection by IP name:
define telapi run tsu -o \%1 -p \%2 k1,run tsu -a k1 1,set port nov
Run it as telapi that.host.domain optional-port-number
such as telapi vms.huji.ac.il
Other sessions can be started to other fake-serial ports (k1, 1
idents above), if you read the docs on Novell TSU's command line interface.
