- In 179, this was for the fact, that carrier detection was not yet
- implemented. However, although it is now there in 188, you can turn it
- off by using SET CARRIER OFF.

- Well, apparently you don't know much about how Kermit works. It is
- *normal* that after a DIAL command you get back to the C-Kermit>
- prompt. Then, after DIAL succeeded, you can enter C[ONNECT]. Or put a
- macro in ckermit.ini that does both.

-
- Yes, it was a change for the better. C-Kermit for OS/2 is (with
- version 188) much more complete. Of the major things, only TCP/IP
- telnet support is missing and I am going to implement this sometimes
- too next year.
