I need help using MS Kermit 3.0 through one of the BIOS ports. I have a PC on a Novell system, and connecting to a server which has a Micon TCP Gateway on it to allow us to connect to the campus ethernet. To access the ethernet through the Micon supported TELNET or FTP, we have to attach to the server, map a search drive to get to the files needed to run the gateway, load NETBIOS, run this program called GWATTACH, which allows the PC to attach to the gateway itself, then run telnet or ftp supplied program. The gateway knows the addresses of the nameservers so it can use telnet or ftp hostname rather than hostnumber. What I want to do is to use MS Kermit 3.0 instead of telnet to connect to other machines on the ethernet. How do I tell kermit which host to connect to using a BIOS port? (After reading the documentation, it seems like both sides have to be running NETBIOS to connect to each other. Since the machine I'm connecting to is not a PC, I guess I'm not suppose to go this route.) Is there some way for me to attach to a machine through the BIOS port in kermit? Bob
