Hello,
We are currently using Kermit which is embeddeded into an industrial
control. The control has a RS232 port which can then be wired to a PC
COM port and running Kermit 95 to transfer files.
What I would like to do is add a Serial to Ethernet converter device
(NPort www.moxa.com for example) to the control to eliminate the need
to run RS232 to the control. The idea is the control could be
accessed from a PC anywhere on the network.
What I'm not sure about is can Kermit 95 access an IP address directly
just as it would a COM port. Or do I need to get a driver for Windows
that maps a virtual COM port to a TCP/IP address that Kermit 95 can
then access. I understand how Kermit uses Telnet to do access a
TCP/IP address, but our control does not support Telnet. It only
supports the Kermit protocol directly.
Phil
