I am having some difficulty using MSK in the Win95 and WinNTW
environments.  We are using MSK version 3.10 to communicate with
computer controlled milling machines.  The machine controls are running
kermit server as a background process.  We use a W95 application to pull
a file out of a DataBase to a temporary file on the workstation, then
initiate Kermit from a batch file using the temporary file name.
Sometimes the transfer works ok, other times it just seems to hang with
the first packet, and other times there are many retries before the
transfer completes.  When Kermit is called from the W95 application
several messages appear in the DOS window "?This port will be operated
through the Bios as BIOS1" and "Unimplemented speed" when 19200 is
selected as the baud rate.  When I change the port settings from BIOS1
to COM1 the file transfers every time. Is there a way to override the
BIOS1 setting from a batch file? Would K95 be a better choice to do file
transfers in a W95 environment?
