Wow! This is a lot of information. Glad to hear from you! I will try
some of the things you suggested. The real reason I am trying to connect
from an old 286 computer is just to try and make use of it in some way. I
have the program Net-Tamer which allows me to connect to the Internet with
it , but it doesn't allow me to connect with other programs. I would like
to connect with the program ZIICS. It is an Internet chess server program
that doesn't work with a PPP connection. I was trying to find out how
Kermit connects so that I might find a way to connect with ZIICS. It seems
that ZIICS requires a 'shell connection'. From what I can figure out, this
is something to do with a Unix type computer that connects to the Internet
and allows ZIICS to work.
Just a past-time. Nothing important. Just the same, I will try to get
it to work.
