Hi all,
I am trying to sort out the amount of information out there on Kermit to
help me a program that I am working on. At the moment I am telneting to a
patent search engine. On connection the server informs me that the host
setting is 8 bits - Kermit protocol. The search engine has its own query
language and will not allow any other commands not specified. I can connect
fine and run all commands. I cannot understand then why they would use
Kermit as the protocol. I am presuming that Kermit sits on top of telnet
and provides enhanced features. Please feel free to let me know if I am way
off track. The component that I am using works fine but I feel that the use
of Kermit at their end is deliberate. The thing is I can download the
patents OK, and the component that I have written is a simple client socket
on port23 with no added functionality to support Kermit.
Am I making something out of nothing ?
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Rob
