I love MS-DOS Kermit 3.14! I prefer it to all other telecommunications
programs. Its VT-series terminal emulation is unrivaled. I tell everyone
I know that Kermit is faster than Zmodem. I own the book. And I don't do
Windows.
I've been using MS-DOS Kermit's built-in TCP/IP in tandem with the
SLIP8250 packet driver for about a year. Unfortunately, my Internet
service provider perodically "breaks" my SLIP account, and getting them to
fix it has become extruciating. They say they only support "modern"
serial IP drivers. Whenever I call to ask them to restore my SLIP
account, the first words out of their mouths are invariably always, "Ok,
go into File/Setup in Trumpet Winsock." They have no patience for my
wanting plain, vanilla SLIP (not compressed) with a static IP address.
You get the picture.
Can I use MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 with its built-in TCP/IP in conjunction with
a PPP driver and an ISP that insists on doling out IP addresses
dynamically? If so, how?
By the way, I'm curious: Am I the only schlemiel still trying to run
TCP/IP over a serial line under MS-DOS (not Windows) on a 20 Mhz 80386SX
PC with a 40 MB hard drive who can't find an Internet service provider
that can cope with anything besides Trumpet Winsock or Windows 95?
