Lines: 16 To: ballou@uselss.dec.com Kermit is designed for you to use it instead of cu, not under cu. I don't say that what you ask is impossible. I'm sure some clever person will come up with a way to do it. But in my opinion you should think of kermit as a replacement for cu. I don't use the fancier script and autodial facilities of kermit, so I can't be sure, but it looks like kermit can do anything cu can. So just make the connection using kermit initially and then escape back to local kermit command mode when you want to do a file transfer. Your main problem seems to be that you're using the connect command when you want to transfer files. Connect says to make an interactive connection, like cu. To transfer a file, use "get" or "send" (assuming you have already set up kermit on the remote host to be in server mode). When you're finished, use "fin". That tells the other end to exit from server mode. You can now use "connect" to resume your interactive session.
