I have used Kermit for DOS (MSK) successfully to telnet
from a DOS machine over ethernet to a Linux box and then run
a Clipper application under the DOS emulator. The DOS machine
used an NE2000 card. I downloaded the freely available packet
driver for NE2000. MSK supplied the TCP/IP and telnet. The
display is pretty good and at least most of the keys are working
ok. I wasn't able to put MSK into 25 line mode, but I was able
to configure the Clipper application to use only 24 lines.
(I have also used Kermit 95 in this fashion from a Windows 95
machine using W95 networking with good results -- it works fine
in 25-line mode. I have even used a one-floppy Linux disk to
boot Linux and supply the Ethernet, TCP/IP, and telnet -- of
course this requires at least a '386.)
Here is the CLIPPER.KSC file I use with MSK. If anyone
tries this and makes any improvements (or figures how to
put MSK in 25-line mode), please post or email me the
details.
