This is a canned reply to all queries regarding the use of MS-DOS Kermit
on Windows 95 and NT, which are coming in at an ever-increasing rate:
MS-DOS Kermit is not recommended or supported for Windows 95 or NT for the
very good reason that it was not written for those platforms. It can not
make network connections, it does not understand long file names, TAPI
port/modem sharing, and in many cases it cannot find the serial ports or
modems at all. It expects to have full control of your PC: memory, video
adapter, interrupt controller, serial port, network adapter. This is not
possible under Windows 95 and NT. If MS-DOS Kermit works at all in those
environments, it is an accident, it is risky, and it is very likely to run
in a degraded mode.
Kermit 95 is the recommended and supported software for Windows 95 and NT.
It is fully native, 32-bit, multithread, protected-mode, preemptive
multitasking, using only Windows 32 APIs, and is a 32-bit Winsock client for
completely straightforward network connections that coexist with your Web
browser and all other network applications. It has built-in support for
nearly 60 different modems; it emulates over 25 different terminals; it is
not only a serial communications program but also a Telnet and Rlogin
client, and supports XYZMODEM protocols as well as Kermit file transfer.
