Hello, we tried it with an Interlan-NI5210-Card, no success!

In Kermit News number 4, June 1990 Joe R. Doupnik and Christine M. Gianone writes: TCP/IP is a very widespread networking method linking machines locally and around the world. Kermit does not attempt to speak TCP-ese directly, because that requires a large specialized body of code in itself. But Kermit can be used as the terminal in Telnet connections for some TCP/IP products. The way it works is to tell Kermit SET PORT BIOS1, CONNECT. The TCP/IP product must provide a connection between that apparent serial port point, BIOS1, and its own code to send and receive characters across the network. The general name for this connection is an Interrupt (INT) 14h interceptor. On a PC thus equipped, MS-DOS Kermit can replace the normal Telnet program, and it can also transfer files over the same connection. Presently we know of three commercial products supporting this connection: FTP Software Inc.'s TNGLASS routine running with their kernel software, Interlan's TCP/IP Gateway for Novell Networks (described above), and Novell's Excelan LAN WorkPlace for DOS. The latter provides INT 14h service, 3COM BAPI, and other interfaces usable by MS-DOS Kermit 3.0. It is hoped that public domain (or at least free) TCP/IP packages such as NCSA Telnet will also add INT 14h service that Kermit can take advantage of. In the commercial products a small interface program, such as TNGLASS, is given the name of the remote host and it starts Kermit when the host responds, for example: tnglass hostname -e kermit commands Then the Kermit commands begin a terminal session with the host. EXITing Kermit normally ends the session; just "shelling out to DOS" (Kermit's PUSH or RUN commands) keeps it alive. -- Bo Kullmar, Helsingoersg. 38, S-164 42 KISTA, Sweden, Phone +46 8 7511518 UUCP: {uunet,mcvax,munnari,cernvax,diku,inria,prlb2,tut,ukc,unido} !sunic!kullmar!bk Internet: bk@kullmar.se
