We would need to see copies of your scripts.

What method are you using to dial? Does it check to make sure that a
connection is really made (as the MS-DOS Kermit dialing scripts do?). Is
the interface speed held constant?
How about on the receiving end? What method is being used to answer the
call?
:
: 3) Is KERMIT (DOS and WIN95) indicated to work in automatic mode.
:
Yes, of course, if you write your scripts correctly.
: Is there anywhere in the WWW samples of Kermit scripts (DOS and/or
: WIN95) to automatically transfer files that I could get to see?
:
You might find it easier to work with Kermit 95's hostmode script, which
comes with Kermit 95. In this case, the client can actually log in, see
a menu, etc. This will verify that you have a good connection, and it
also provides some security and protection of the Windows 95 system from
unwanted callers.
Of course client access through host mode can be scripted too.
So why don't you try using host mode on the Windows 95 end. Once you get
that working "by hand", then you can write an MS-DOS Kermit script to access
it automatically. If you have trouble with that, send email to
kermit-support@columbia.edu.
