Thanks for the quick reply Frank.
I'm running on Windows 2000 Server and using Kermit 95. I found the
command line option (-l) that looks like what you were referring to.
Now I just need to find out if the Dialogic board's API will allow me
to pass a Windows device handle. If so then we may be in business.
So, I have a script currently that dials out over a regular modem and
does all of the inventory processing. If I make use of an existing
connection, then all I would have to do is strip out the beginning of
the script where it sets up the modem and dials and the end of the
script where it hangsup? Or am I missing something?
Thanks again,
Dave
