-----------------
It's called SERVER mode, a standard feature of Columbia Kermits
since day one. Rather than go though a long explaination of this may
I recommend reading about it in the user's manual, the "Using MS-DOS
Kermit" book. It is very simple to use: Kermit command SERVER, at the
minimum. Protection features are available too, via ENABLE/DISABLE,
and even a SET SERVER command to add a little more control.
