There is no Internet Kermit Service for OS/2. The IKS relies on the
operating system providing a user identification and authorization
service as well as file access lists for protection of files and
directories. Except for OS/2 Lan Server and HPFS386, OS/2 has no
concept of user identities and therefore no file access list support.
Without the ability to provide user identification and authorization
there is little to no benefit in deploying the IKS on OS/2. The
Kermit 95 Hostmode already provides the equivalent functionality.
