We're using NCSA TELNET quite happily to connect to UNIX hosts. Recently we acquired an Annex-II terminal server from Encore and some NCSA users are now milking the server to connect to Hosts that do not support TCP/IP. This type of connection is working fine as a straight terminal emulation but the NCSA user has no means of transferring files to/from the host other than capture mode. Is anyone aware of an Ethernet access program for a PC that would support async protocols such as Kermit or XMODEM so that we can send/and receive from our out-of-date hosts? We'd prefer not to have to place async connections into offices already served by Ethernet. Thanks very much.

The program BWKTEL from Beame & Whiteside Software Ltd. provides
Kermit and Xmodem file transfer along with VT102/VT52 terminal emulation.

It is Monday morning after the holiday, I can't seem to shake all the fuzzies, so I may not understand your question correctly but... I have used the latest versions of PC Kermit (2.31) which is available from Columbia for Kermit file transfers. I have also used Kermit to access ethernet connections. How? 1.) NetBIOS/TCP (see I do use it!!!!) Kermit supports NetBIOS, you use the Kermit Server and Remote commands to accomplish all sorts of things(dir listings, remote deletes, types etc). 2.) Int 14H. This implies the right FTP, one that supports this. I have sucessfully used INT14 with the Bridge supplied FTP and with Sytek's. This allows Kermit to be your interface for telnet. I have also done numerous file xfers using Kermit over telnet, but I am told this is a bad idea. If public domain, user supported software does not meet your needs, I think there is a commercial package that does the Int14 stuff, Reflection (I've never used it). Good luck.
