[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Kermit question

lotto@wjh12.UUCP (02/07/87)

I wanted to use KERMIT to trap serial information coming out of a
device that send CR as the only line delimiter. (Macs fans might
recognize this protocol). At any rate, the person collecting data
wants to see the stuff scrolling and I have not been able to figure
out how to do it. CU20B FTP server (or our gateway) has been down so I
have not been able to snatch sources to figure it out myself yet.

To paraphrase, how do you get KERMIT to echo CR-LF on receipt of CR
only short of hacking sources? No terminal emulation features are
required by this application.

Reply to lotto@harvard.harvard.edu or @lhasa.uucp. Thanks

It seems that this is not easily done.  You can set up translation tables to
alter the value of strings, but these are only in effect during packet 
operations.  Also, you can use SET KEY to alter the value of the CR key
for output, but this will not do what you're looking for.  There seems to
be no appropriate solution in the manuals I have.
