[comp.dcom.lans] Kermit & Async comm. servers for PC networks

ugogan@ecsvax.uncecs.edu (Jim Gogan) (08/01/88)

I would like to hear from anyone using MS-Kermit 2.31 over a
network to an async communications server (such as IBM's LAN
Async Communications Server Program or Novell's ACS).  We are
looking for something (anything!!) that will let us attach up
to 8 hardwired async lines to a communications server on a
PC network (primarily token ring and Ethernet hardware) without
having to use ASCOM, Smartcom or Crosstalk!!  Is this
possible with Kermit 2.31?  What products are any good (not
just available) for async server capability?
I don't care about dial-in capabilities; we just want to get
access to other campus hosts for the users on the PC nets.
Please e-mail any and all success/horror stories & I'll
summarize if appropriate.  Thanks in advance.
