Subject: Mac Kermit vs Printer Port?

There is a bug in MacKermit 0.8(33).  If the modem port is in use by a hard
disk (Tecmar for example), there is no way to use MacKermit as it generates
an error message indicating that the port is in use and then exits.  It does
not permit the user to use the printer port instead.  Do you have a patch to
get around this problem???

[Ed. - From one of the authors of Mac Kermit: "The ability to use the printer
port is not supported -- it was something we were going to put in but never got
around to.  Since I ordered a Tecmar I'll probably get around to fixing this.]
