We have been telnetting using kermit 3.14 successfully for many years. Recently we switched to using Novell DHCP servers which also respond to BOOTP requests but for some reason KERMIT would not obtain IP information from the new DHCP servers. The solution seemed to be switching to MSDOS Kermit 3.15 which supports DHCP and this did appear to work fine - the machines obtained their IP information as before and the telnet application seemed to work again.
Now we are getting many reports of sessions hanging at random whilst in the application. This could be every 5 or 10 minutes. If we hard code the IP into the MSCUSTOM.INI things work fine but this involves copying the Kermit application locally on many PCs. The only thing we changed in the MSCUSTOM.INI was the BOOTP to DHCP.
