I will try to answer the question one more time.
At some point in the past the author of WATTCP donated his code to the
Kermit Project. In other words, he gave permission to the Kermit Project
to use his source code in MS-DOS Kermit. There were no efforts made
to ensure that the changes that were put into MS-DOS Kermit and the changes
that were made to WATTCP were kept in sync. The reason for this is that
the needs and motivations of the two development efforts were very
different.
It would be exceedingly difficult after more than 10 years for you to
go back and apply the changes to the MS-DOS Kermit TCP/IP stack to the
WATTCP code.
