[comp.sys.apple] kermit question

eric@UCSCK.UCSC.EDU ("Eric C. Hewitt") (05/02/87)

I have a question about installing another device driver on
Kermit.  I have a II+ with a CPS multi-function card and I
have the file p968cpshex which I is an executable text file
in apple DOS.  My question is: how do I get Kermit to recognize
my card?   Thanks in advance.

If whoever that was who asked what kermit was will post their
address from BITNET, I'll happily send along docs.  I tried last
night -- gee it looked like a simple address @nosc.arpa, but alas
the mail came back "undelivered" (sigh!).

Folks, my experience is that if you post addresses for ARPA, UUCP,
and others without one for BITNET, you'll miss some mail as it
appears not always possible to figure out how to reach you from
bitnet with just the addresses you leave.

Currently, there is no way to catalog a disk from within Kermit.
You can, however, exit Kermit, catalog the disk, then do a CALL 4096
to get back to Kermit with all settings intact...

Thanks to all that responded to my //c ROM question from before.

Another kermit question.  I've been able to download kermit
(3.78,79,80) from the LISTSERV with the Access // using xmodem.  But
after installing kermit, I find that I cannot download files using
kermit from my VAX, which incidentally runs kermit-c.  It seems like
all the text characters are translated into their control character
equivalents.  Uploading files seems to work fine.  Am I forgetting to
set something in kermit?

As it stands right now, I can download files with Access // but I have
to replace all linefeeds with carriage returns and I cannot upload files.
Kermit works uploading but not downloading.  I would like to just use
one program if at all possible.

Just in case you need to know, I have a //c with the ROM upgrade for
the serial port.

Thanks in advance.

Two questions about creating kermit after downloading it:

1. The file ker383.1 contains the directions "include UUCP headers". It also
says "cut here" before the UUCP headers. Which is right?

2. The directions also say to examine ker383.2 for a single carrige return on
the last line to see if a space had been appended before it. My file has
neither of these. Instead it has "REM Type:  EXEC KER383.1,R25<RETURN>
[Yes, that's "R25"]" on the very last line. So should I instert the extra
carrige return below this?

I haven't an explanation for the reference to "UUCP headers," but here
are the first 3 lines of KER383.1 as I've downloaded it (and passed it
to APPLE2-L & others).  It works fine if the file starts with the REM
statement (UUCP headers will just cause "SYNTAX ERROR" from APPLESOFT,
and the program also should install.

REM FIRST LINE OF KER383.1-- DO NOT REMOVE THESE REM LINES
REM SAVE AS "KER383.1" [AS RECEIVED, WITHOUT REMOVING UUCP HEADERS]
REM 27632 BYTES        *** INSTRUCTIONS ***     WARNING KER383.2 IS DELETED

>2. The directions also say to examine ker383.2 for a single carrige return on
>the last line to see if a space had been appended before it. My file has

Some lines above the end of KER383.2, there is a 3D0G.  It IS NECESSARY
that the line above it be blank (stored as two consecutive carriage
returns without an intervening pad character).  The section in question
(beginning 899 lines from the top) is:

C3A0D4CFA0D2C5D4D5D2CEDD0000D2C5D4D5D2CEDD0000FE038D047AADFF038DD8

3D0G
EXEC KER383.INSTALL

I am a new user of apples.  I use my C= 64 as a vt100 using Kermit for the 64
and would like to set up my girlfriends IIgs with Kermit 3.85.  I have it 
configured for operation but I haven't yet figured out the modem command.  On
On the commmodore version you simply give commands to the modem from the 
connect mode, but I take it Apple Kermit is different.  I wrote a kermit.modem
file using Appleworks and I printed the file to disk in ASCII and then copied
this file to my kermit disk.  When I issued the modem command my file was there
but it had a mysterious extra line and the command simply did not communicate
with the modem.  Is there something I should check to make sure I do.  Is there
another way to send commands to a Hayes comp. modem.  What gives, etc.  I am 
quite familiar with the Commodore version so give me all the details!

Thanks

I have been trying to use the kermit verision 3.85 vt100 emulation but
am having no luck.  Every time the screen scrolls, I drop characters.  This
this gets especially interesting when characters dropped are part of an
escape sequence.  I have an UNenhanced 2e with a super serial card and
external 1200 baud modem.  The interrupts are enabled as per the kermit
doc (sw6-2 is on).

Is there something else I should be doing to prevent dropping characters?
Has anyone else been able to successfully use the vt100 emulation with this
hardware configuration?  Is is possible that I need to enhance the 2e?  I
would really rather not have to spend the money on the enhancement (as a
matter of principle as much as anything else). 

Thanks in advance for any help.
