Ok, ok! I have had a crappy two days dealing with poor service from
our local U.P.S. drones and I took it out on you Frank. I apologize
for being out of sorts while reading and replying to usenet. ;-)

Understood. I am basically looking for scripts, pointers and/or help
from the c-kermit and dos-kermit community at large. The onus is not
on you or your team to provide the solution for me. If there is a
better forum for asking for scripts or help from *other* than the
Columbia U. Kermit team please tell me where I can find it.

We have ordered DOS Kermit and manual for same from you with the
aforementioned order. We should be getting 2 copies of DOS Kermit
and 3 copies of C-Kermit. I will be able to puzzle it out myself but
I'm putting in 12 to 15 hour days already and hoped to get a script
or two from someone which I could just tweak for this site and the
remotes without having to add another few hours typing and debugging
to what I'm already doing. Oh well, I can handle it, really ... I
can. It's amazing the perspective change three or four beers can
give one. ;-)
