  23. I have an application where we used to have a serial VT100 terminal
  24. (honest-to-goodness DEC), and a serial printer slaved to it.
  25.  
  26. The printer died.
  27.  
  28. I thought I'd replace the terminal and printer with a PC running MSKermit
  29. 3.15, and a parallel printer.
  30. I can't figure out how to get the printer to print everything that appears
  31. on the screen in real time.
  32. I tried "log session lpt1" which sort of works, except that it doesn't
  33. print until I quit kermit...  
  34.  
  35. The printout is kept as a historical log file, which can only be replaced
  36. by disk logs if I devote some educational effort toward the techs involved. 
  37. I'd rather not, if I can get the dedicated printer working ;-)
