Subject: Using MS-Kermit 3.14 with PPP under WIN 3/95 Possible?

Hi,
I connect to my mainframe using PPP, and I am not happy with
the Telnet client that comes with Windows 95 and would like to use
Kermit instead (for keyboard mapping and downloading). However, I
have not been able to this.
I had made appropriate changes in mscustom.ini and typing
check TCP gives response of TCP/IP is available. However after typing
set port tcp/ip hostname
connect
and I get an error message of
Cannot attacj to an Ethernet Packet Driver or a Novell ODI driver.
Unable to initialize TCP/IP system, quitting.
?Cannot start the connection.
and my PPP connection went dead as well.
I am wondering what I need to do to get MS-Kermit 3.14 to work
as my Telnet client. I read the FAQ but that was no discussion of PPP.
Some discussion on SLIP seems to suggest that MS-Kermit is not
supposed to work easily to get TCP/IP under Windows environment. But
Kermit is my favorite communication program, so any suggestions as to
how I can get it to work would be greatly appreciated. BTW, OS/2
Kermit works flawlessly under PPP so I think it should also be
possible for MS-Kermit to work under PPP.
Thanks ahead for all the help.
