There's a hacked copy of NCSA 2.3 telnet for the mac which supports SLIP at ftp.cisco.com. Trouble is yah gotta fire up a separate terminal emulator to set up the SLIP call first. Is anyone using this, and if so, what terminal emulator(s) are you using? I've tried MacKermit 0.98(63) [neat version number eh?, guess it's asymptotically approaching version 1.0!]. Anyway MacKermit 0.98(63) has an option to hold up DTR upon quitting, as well as a menu item to transfer directly to another application. Tried to use these features to set up the SLIP connection and then transfer to cisco's telnet, with no luck. DTR dropped anyway, so when the cisco telnet fired up, the terminal server connection was gone. I tried making the connection to the terminal server with MacKermit and again typing SLIP, but this time sliding over to cisco telnet under Multifinder while leaving MacKermit running. When I opened a telnet session I was able to get a window for the session, but all the data went into the kermit session which was still running in the background! thx in advance, Ben Schmidt Bell-Northern Research, Ltd.
