Could anyone explain how the check tcp/ip command works? I use MS-Kermit
3.15 with PPPD for DOS 0.6, and although it works well I'm curious about
why check tcp/ip doesn't seem to notice if I've started Kermit before I've
made the PPP connection. (I use the mscustom.ini file that came with
version 3.14, and the program never skips the commands that follow "check
tcp/ip if fail forward notcp" even if I haven't started the PPPD program
yet. The TCP/IP settings given in mscustom.ini are all shown when I type
show comm, except for the ones that rely on DOS environment variables that
the PPPD program sets, which are blank). I also have a cosmetic question.
I use Kermit most often to log into a host on a different net than my
nameserver and gateway. I usually want to bypass my nameserver, which is
often overloaded, by telling Kermit the IP address of the host directly.
So far I've been using the SET TCP/IP HOST command, e.g. set tcp/ip host
128.174.2.3, which seems to work. Is there a way that I can tell Kermit
to associate a host name with a host address? I would like Kermit to show
a host name like uiucuxa in the bottom line of the terminal screen but I'd
also like Kermit to know the IP number without asking the nameserver.
