Robin:
	You may or may not know this about kermit, but I wrote this memo
for our engineers and felt that if you tried using kermit this way that
if you still have a problem then I believe something changed with your
connection to the remote host.

	>>>>>NOTE<<<<<  Please note that if you are connecting to a
remote computer thru a hard wired tty line the same steps apply except
you set the baud rate to 9600 and you of course skip the modem commands.

		The memo follows:

CONNECTION THRU MODEM:

        To establish a connection to dial out, you must first  be
sure  the  modem  is  connect to a non-login port (for Boeing and
Hughes 801, tty03 is a login and tty02 is a  non-login,  for  our
vax,  ttyh2  is  free to be either a login or a non-login).  Once
the modem is connected and turned on, you can connect  to  it  by
typing the following:

        kermit -l /dev/tty02 -b 1200 -c    /* connect to modem */

        This  will  connect  you  to  the  modem   connected   to
/dev/tty02  at  1200 baud.  The "-c" tells kermit to establish an
interactive connection.  Once connected,  you  can  talk  to  the
modem  as we have done before, i.e..(at<cr>, atDT1234567<cr> and
so on).


TRANSFERRING FILES:

        Once you login to the computer you want  to  connect  to,
you  must  start  up "kermit" in "server' mode.  This will set up
the connection to send and receive files back and  forth  between
the  machines.   :::NOTE::: Before doing this you will need to be
in the directory where you want to take files from or send  files
to.  To put kermit in server mode just type:

        kermit -x       /* start remote kermit in server mode */

        After this command you will see some  garbage  characters
which  you  should  ignore.  The next step is to get back to your
local machine.  To do so just type:

        ctrl-\c  /* control backslash and then a lower case "c" */
                 /* "NOT" control backslash and then control "c" */

        Now that you are back to the local machine you can either
take files from or send files to the remote computer.

TAKING FILES:

        To take files from the current directory  on  the  remote
machine  you  can  use the standard shell wild cards such as "*",
"?" or "[]" to form file names so multiple files can be taken.  A
typical command might be to take all the ".c" and ".h" files.

        kermit -l /dev/tty02 -b 1200 -g "*.[ch]"


SENDING FILES:

        To send files to the  current  directory  on  the  remote
machine  you  can  follow  the  same  syntax  as taking files.  A
typical command might be to send the files you made changes to.

        kermit -l /dev/tty02 -b 1200 -s "scndis.c scn.h"

        Both taking and sending commands give you  statistics  on
the  files  kermit is transferring and tells you when the process
is finished.


CLOSING CONNECTION:

        Once you are done transferring files, you must  take  the
remote kermit out of server mode.  You might also want to do this
if you need to re-connect  to  the  remote  computer  and  change
directories  or some such command as that.  The following command
will stop the remote server.

        kermit -l /dev/tty02 -b 1200 -f

        Once you do  that,  you  can  re-connect  to  the  remote
computer  by  doing  the connection command above and then either
log out or change directories and start the transfer process  all
over  again or what ever you want, but be sure you eventually log
out of the remote machine.

        If you log out from the remote computer,  you  will  once
again  be  talking to the modem itself, so you will need to enter
the "ctrl-\c" command to finally close the connection  thru  the
modem.
