Kermit does not impliment a TCP/IP protocol link however, and therefore
you can't use TCP applications on your computer to talk over a kermit link.
One thing that would give you browsing, and download facilities, would be
to set lynx up on the SUN, with kermit enabled. You could browse the net
using the sun Lynx, and download files straight to your kermit on your PC.
Otherwise, work out how to set up a PPP link.
