Ok So starting again...
we need to organise serial conections from various unix boxes, mainly sco
and aix, to kermit 2.32/8. We were led to belive this was running on a unix
session, but its more than possible that this information is wrong and if
you're telling me that 2.32/8 defines this copy of kermit as an old msdos
kermit, then that is what I need to connect to.
My question then is can I connect to this with c-kermit version 7 (have
already downloaded assorted binaries)?
Thanks Frank,
Glenn
