Greetings I'm having a question about Kermit, on PC as well as on UNIX. I want to make my unix system run a kermit server to accept file-transfers initiated by the PC on dial-up lines, but I also want the unix-system to be able to initiate a transfer. For this, I need either to shut down the server on the unix side and start one on the PC like in the following chart: UNIX PC ====================================== kermit server start kermit dial.. kermit send file-upload finish (server dies) kermit server start kermit send file-download finish (server dies) kermit server start and so on. Or (better), I'd like two kermit servers, which also accept commands from the outside. They listen on the line for incoming requests, but also monitor a command-interface for locally initiated requests. On unix, this could be done using a signal, and then looking at a file, but on MessyDos? Has anybody done something like this already and can give me some info/help?
