KERMIT is a family of programs that do reliable file transfer between
computers over TTY lines. KERMIT can also be used to make the IBM PC
behave as a terminal for a mainframe. These are the commands for the
8086/8088 DOS version, KERMIT-86:
BYE When talking to a remote Kermit Server, this command shuts
down the server and logs it out. It then exits from
Kermit-86 to DOS.
CONNECT To make a "virutual terminal" connection to a remote system.
To break the connection and "escape" back to the PC, type
the escape sequence (CTRL-] C, that is Control rightbracket
followed immediately by the letter C.)
EXIT To return back to DOS.
FINISH When talking to a remote Kermit Server, this command shuts
down the server but does not log you out on the remote host.
HELP To get a list of KERMIT commands.
LOGOUT When talking to a remote Kermit Server, this command shuts
down the server and logs it out. This command is similar
to BYE, but leaves you at the Kermit-86 command level.
RECEIVE To accept a file from the remote system.
SEND To send a file or group of files to the remote system.
SET To establish system-dependent parameters. The SET options
are as follows:
BAUD To set terminal speed to 300, 1200, 1800,
2400, 4800 (default) and 9600.
BELL To ring bell after transfer has completed
or has failed (default is ON).
DEBUG To set debug mode ON or OFF (default is OFF).
END-OF-LINE To change the character used at the end of
packets to something other than the default
of CR. It must be a digit between 0 and 31.
ESCAPE To change the escape sequence that lets you
return to the PC Kermit from the remote host.
The default is CTRL-] c.
FILE-WARNING ON/OFF, default is OFF. If ON, Kermit will warn
you and rename an incoming file so as not to
write over a file that currently exists with the
same name.
IBM ON/OFF, default is OFF. This flag should be
ON only when transfering files between the PC
and an IBM VM/CMS system. It also causes the
parity to be set appropriately and activates
local echoing.
LOCAL-ECHO ON/OFF, default is OFF. This sets the duplex.
It should be ON when using the IBM and OFF for
the DEC-20.
PARITY EVEN, ODD, MARK, SPACE, or NONE. NONE is the
default but if the IBM flag is set, parity is
set to MARK. This flag selects the parity for
outgoing and incoming characters during CONNECT
and file transfer to match the requirements of
the host.
VT52-EMULATION Determines whether Kermit should emulate a
VT52 or have to PC run in "native" mode.
The options are ON (default) and OFF.
STATUS To see the values of parameters that can be modified
via the SET command.
(Installation notes:)
KERMIT-86 runs on the IBM PC or XT under PC DOS 1.1 or 2.0; The same program
is known to run on "IBM-PC-Compatible" systems like the Compaq portable, and
there is a separate version of KERMIT-86 for the Heath/Zenith Z100.
PCKERMIT.ASM is the IBM Macro Assembler source file, which can be assembled
on the IBM PC or Z100. PCKERMIT.FIX is a printable encoding of the executable
program, which can be downloaded to the PC using PCKSEND and PCKGET.
PCKERMIT.OLD is a previous, and stable, version of KERMIT-86 which does not
contain support for the XT or certain hard disks. PCKERMIT.OFX is the FIX
file for that version. The XT/hard disk support was added at Cargnegie-Mellon
University, and further debugged at Columbia. The old version runs under DOS
1.1 or 2.0 on a vanilla IBM PC (not XT). If you have trouble with the
current version, and you don't have an XT or hard disk, try dropping back to
the old version. (23 Jun 83)
