Some time ago, I posted a question to this newsgroup regarding two things I wanted to do in kermit. One was set kermit to use com3: and IRQ 5 and the other was how to automatically do something upon exit from kermit (but not when pushing to a dos shell). I would like to thank all who answered (Mark Granoff, Joe Doupnik, Bo Kullmar, Margaret Wilson, Dave Mausner and Frank da Cruz) and also to apologize for taking so long to summarize. Anyway, for those who are still interested: To set a particular port/irq/address, you do: SET COMx <address> <irq> (in my case, SET COM3 \x3e8 \5) and then SET PORT COM3 (note: irq selection is only supported in 3.10) another way to do this is to define a DOS variable called kermit with all the set commands you want (except leave out the "set"). I.E. at DOS say SET KERMIT=BAUD 38400;COM3 \x3e8 \5; etc or if you don't have room for all your defines, you can define KERMIT1, KERMIT2 etc. to get an exit command, define the macro ON_EXIT to whatever you want and it will be called when kermit is quited, byed or exited. -- Adam Carlson | It's good to know that if I behave acarlson@math.umass.edu | strangely enough, society will take Statistical Consulting Center | full responsibility for me.
