Hello,
I am interested in using Kermit as a protocol to transfer text only
files to and from some pieces of CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled)
equipment. Right now, the company uses 8 separate DOS based PCs, each
connected to only one machine to send/receive files. The CNC's
transfer only using Kermit on RS-232. (They are Cincinnati CNC
Machines, made in the USA)
What I would want to do is use a single WindowsNT based PC connected
to a network to talk to all 8. I have a multi-port serial card with 16
serial ports (Comtrol Rocket Port) running on such an NT PC.
My questions:
Before I start re-inventing the wheel, is there already a version of
Kermit that runs on NT?
If so, does it support COM ports higher than COM4? (Like up to COM32)
Are there any know problems running multiple instances of the same
program? (Each connected to a different COM port on the same PC)
And lastly, for now, who do I contact to register the proper
"Credit where credit is do" information before using Kermit?
Thanks for any/all help.

bombarded by junk E-Mail??)
