Let me explain further what I am trying to do. I have a PPP connection to
the Internet, which I dial into with my modem. I have the ZIICS program
that works on a shell connection to a telnet server, to provide a graphical
user interface for Internet chess. I would like to be able to get ZIICS to
work on my PPP connection. As it is now ZIICS will dial up, log in and then
can't work with the PPP protocol. I thought that Kermit was similar in this
regard, so if I could figure out how Kermit managed to handle it , then
maybe I could get ZIICS to work too. It seems that Kermit requires a PPP
packet driver. I have download one. I can get it to dial into my Internet
number and log in. It looks like the driver is communicating with my
connection, but then I am returned to the Dos prompt. I can't get either
Kermit or ZIICS to use this driver.
In the documentation for ZIICS it says that one person connected to the
Internet by using a virtual modem. I have downloaded this program, but it is
for OS/2.
I appreciate your replies.
