telnet 192.168.1.1 7993
------------------------
That will connect you immediately to matanza (you don't
get the usual telnet login).

What is 7993, a process number?

Port number.

This worked fine, but I have not figured out how to exit matanza. THat is not in thehelp menu. I finally rebooted the computer from which I was telnetted.


I have Kermit for DOS (MS-Kermit) which I have used
before to connect to a linux computer running Kermit

I did not need networking on either computer (did I?).

If you mean TCP/IP networking, no you do not necessarily
need TCP/IP to connect and transfer data. However, you
do need a server on one end and a client on the other
that are able to communicate with each other.

laplink pro or kermit do this.


Can I use DOS kermit telnet to telnet to a linux computer
without networking,

I know little about kermit. If kermit telnet is fully
compatible with the standard telnet, then it should be
able to connect via TCP/IP to a telnet server running
on Linux.

via a serial cable?


To use a serial cable without TCP/IP, you would need to
have a client on one end (eg INTERLNK) and a server on
the other (eg INTERSVR). Does kermit provide a suitable
client and server for this? I don't know.

Kermit requires a serial connection.


Or what would I need to put on the linux computer to
make this possible?

Normally you put TCP/IP networking on the Linux computer
(and TCP/IP networking on the client). However, it
sounds like you are saying that kermit is able to connect
directly with another kermit. If so, running kermit on
the Linux computer might enable a connection to be made
directly.

This would let me transfer files between computers which is probably good enough. So is a floppy disk in most cases. I will ask the kermit people for more help with this. I don't think kermit will work over ethernet cable.


A DOS packetdriver will get TCP/IP running on the DOS
computer. The slip packetdriver is probably what you
want.

What I need is probably some DOS networking software - I think you said somehwere that I can use that on one computer and linux networking on the other computer.


Right now I just send files via DOS kermit

To a Linux kermit?

Yes, that is how I set upt the first BL2 on hard drive. I downloaded the files to a DOS partition on one computer, then transferred them to a BL2-RAM disk computer via kermit. DOS kermit on one end, LINUX kermit on the other. I followed instructions in the book (which I bought). I think I had kermit running in the second RAMdisk in /tmp. It was interesting.

>> I can also just use a floppy disk for transfer.

Perhaps by running DOSemu on the Linux computer, you
might be able to run INTERSVR or laplink?


If I were to run DOSemu on the linux computer I would have no need for any of the above because I could use WP51 directly on that computer in linux.

I might try seeing what I can do with kermit and serial cable. Maybe there is some way to do a direct file transfer via an intermediate computer.

I know I can dial my bbs with kermit, telnet somewhere else, and then print my mail to my home computer from the somewhere else without doing anything at the bbs

This is getting confusing.
