  25. Unfortunately, it seems to be a crossing of rev levels.
  26. The Kermit SOCKS is 4.2.  If the SOCKS-5 server is returning an error
  27. message, it may be something unexpected by Kermit, although I suppose it
  28. could say that the problem is in SOCKS somewhere.
  29.  
  30. An annoying side effect of this is snooping.
  31. Shortly after I made the adjustment, adding a SOCKS-5 driver, the sysadmin
  32. asked me what "rahul.net" was.  Later, he noticed that I wasn't able to
  33. reach a web site (the SOCKS driver was supposed to overlook Internet
  34. Explorer, letting http go through a different set of proxy nonsense).
  35. So now, I think the next step will be subliminal enforcement of the notice
  36. "corporate networks are only supposed to be used for business".
