[comp.sys.next] kermit and tex

I am trying to view a multipage postscript document produced with TeX and dvips
Both the preview and yap applications print all pages on top of one another so
that the result is a black window due to this superposition.
I am aware that the topic of multipage postscript documents and preview has
already been discussed and that inserting a $$page at the end of each page
can fix the problem. However, I have no idea where TeX has put my page
breaks and I would prefer not looking in the document to insert the $$page
manually.
Is there another way to view dvips output? 
Or,is there another way than inserting the $$page for doing it with preview?

Another problem that I have is with my file transfers over the phone line.
Prof. Solovay , from Berkeley, placed an old version of kermit on the
network a few weeks ago, but its use appears to be very restrictive.
I do not know whether someone somewhere is working on porting a later
version to the NeXT. If so, I would be happy to learn when it will be
available (the reason I do not do this myself if you wonder, is just
that I do not have enough experience for this kind of job).
Or better, would there already be a version available that allows one
to do terminal emulation as well as transfering files?

Thank you in advance for your help.
