I'm trying to get a 'box' working with an old PC. The box talks through a
serial port using Kermit to send files back and forth between itself and
the PC.
It's working for the most part but there's one feature that's still not
working. The box runs a couple of special programs on the PC using the
remote commands ("C" packet type) ... and it's not working.
I checked the Kermit protocol book by DaCruz but it's not all that verbose
on what the format of the "C" packets is.
Apparently the box used to work with an older version of kermit except
nobody seems to know which exact version. I'm just hoping it wasn't a
version that somebody 'tweaked' software wise to get working.
Is there anymore information on the format of "C" packets or am I going to
have to jump into the sources?
