Joel,
This isn't an MS-DOS Kermit problem at all, but rather the way
you have the workstation and its NW login script and perhaps net.cfg
composed. MSK does not use IPX, so all IPX and above features are completely
independent of MSK. VLMs handle IPX work. To check things I recommend you look
at drive mappings, by first bringing MSK out of server mode.
Also, MSK v3.11 is very old indeed and I recommend you upgrade to
the current release, v3.14, or even the current open beta 3.15.
