I was not talking about mskermit alone but
with wattcp apps.

Notes on WATTCP Apps
--------------------
These are a collection of "example" applications that come with the
Waterloo TCP programmer's package, plus ftp. They 1. *require* a class 1
packet driver. You do not need to be connected to configure them.
etc.

1. require
: Actually
: many WATTCP apps should work ok with EPPD (I have checked talk), because they
: are more lenient than Kermit.
Yes, many (maybe all) wattcp apps will work with eppp: ftp does,arachne does,
the two time client programs do. I am speaking of using mskermit *with*
wattcp apps, with a single serial connection with one packet driver,
concurrenly or not.
And hopefully assume the changes to the ethernet packet drivers in
dossppp dist. will allow this.
Dosppp06 works ok with Kermit too, has VJ
: compression and CHAP, and will be out RSN now. IMHO that's the best free DOS
: PPP driver available.
