Bob Kusumoto queried how to use SET PORT BIOSn in MS-DOS Kermit to talk to his tcp/ip gateway. Well, Bob. The Bios serial port is just an ascii device, not a tcp protocol item. If your system permits an external terminal emulator program to attach to the Telnet software on the PC then that software has to do the Telnet negotiations because the terminal emulator is emulating a terminal rather than a Telnet package. Time to read the manuals again. While MS-DOS Kermit does work fine with Telnet packages having an Int 14h interceptor facility it does not speak any of the tcp/ip protocol. Joe D.

Ok, so Kermit does mot do it ... is there ANYTHING that will? ... I use PC-NFS here at work, & use applications that require function keys. The PC-NFS emulates a vt100 of sorts (how good?), but forget about function keys ... leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
