[comp.os.msdos.apps] Comms under DESQview

dhosek@euler.claremont.edu (Don Hosek) (02/17/91)

Has anybody had problems running Kermit (3.0) under DESQview
(2.31)? Were they able to surmount these problems? I occasionally
have Kermit freeze up on me while using it in a DESQview window
and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

I suppose I might be willing to switch to a different terminal
package assuming (1) It supported the Kermit protocol (and the
*MODEM protocols would be nice as well) and (2) did a reasonable
job of mapping the PC keypad to the VT100 Keypad.

            where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans "anonymous") and 
            FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt". There is
            a list of files in each directory under the name 00files.txt
            Binary files are not available by this technique.

Yes and no.  My terminal session locks up after a few minutes, usually
requiring me to reboot the machine.  I usually get a screenful of garbage
characters just before it locks up.  I have problems with no other emulators
under DESQview, and it's a shame because Kermit has such great DEC VT
emulation.  No one at work seems to have these problems with Kermit.  I too
would be interested in hearing about a solution.  I'm using a Northgate
386/20 box.
