We're using MS-DOS Kermit, version 3.15 Beta 18, to observe the
behaviour of various embedded systems. In a couple of cases recently,
we've discovered glitches in the embedded systems due to the NUL
character being sent or received by an ASCII-based protocol driver.
We've noticed that Kermit's VT320 emulation does not display
NULs by default, nor are these characters logged to file. The lack of
a display does not worry us; the lack of the character in the log file
has helped trick us into missing the problems for quite a while.
If session debugging is enabled (set debug session), then NULs
are displayed and are logged. However, we'd prefer to use a standard
VT-style terminal emulation without seeing debugging information.
Is there an easy way to modify Kermit's behaviour so that NULs are
always logged to file?
thanks,
behoffski
