[comp.sys.apple] APLLE II E AND KERMIT

D2Q@psuvm.psu.edu (02/24/90)

I and some of my colleagues are trying to use Kermit on apple ii e,
emulating a VT100 terrminal.  The program seems to be doing fine
till we try to print something on our local printer.  The toggle
key for printer (escape-p) works, but when the print job is in
execution, the screen freezes.  Is there any way that the printer can be set
on and thereafter all jobs can be sent to the printer without constantly
toggling in and out of Kermit?
    Also, when the print job is large we have to set flow delay on, but
then the processing becomes so slow that it appears we are working on
a lower baud modem.  Any way to get around this?
    Currently we are using Kermit 3.79, I hear there is a 3.86 version
out which can possibly be obtained by FTP.  How does one invoke FTP??
Any answers will be appreciated.
