All bets are off when you try to run a script written for a later software
version on an earlier one.
The current version of MS-DOS Kermit is 3.15 and its scripting capabilities
are much more advanced. If you actually have Windows 95/98/NT, then you
should be using Kermit 95 anyway, which has a built-in DIAL command, so you
don't need this kind of script at all.
Assuming you are running DOS, try installing the current version of MS-DOS
Kermit. If you're tight on memory, choose the "medium" version, which has
TCP/IP and Tektronix sripped out.
Then if you have further difficulties, send details to:
