The demoware PPP at ftp://ftp.klos.com/demo/pppdemo.exe also works, but I
haven't tried the pppshare.exe at the same location.
What I did have problems with was that the MS-DOS Kermit "check TCP" command
succeeded when I had a FOSSIL driver, BNUi, loaded, but nothing else that
might resemble a TCP/IP capability for MS-DOS Kermit 3.15. Therefore, I
needed to manually change MSCUSTOM.INI between serial FOSSIL communications
and TCP/IP over the Klos ODI over PPP stack.
