Are there any plans to include a basic PPP driver in C-Kermit itself?
In other words, C-Kermit would not need any external software to
establish a PPP connection (over dial-up), and then allow telnet or
set host or whatever from within C-Kermit to establish a terminal
session with a remote host. I'd like this capability in the VMS, UNIX
and Windows version of C-Kermit.
Note that C-Kermit would not have to "hand off" this PPP connection to
any other program (though that would be a nice feature in those
systems for which "hand off" is possible) -- it would be used solely
for that C-Kermit session.
Any plans for this?
