- KERMIT is a family of programs that do reliable file transfer between
- computers over TTY lines. KERMIT can also be used to make the IBM PC
- behave as a terminal for a mainframe. These are the commands for the
- IBM PC version.
-
- CONNECT To make a "virutual terminal" connection to a remote system.
- To break the connection and "escape" back to the PC, type
- the escape sequence (CTRL-] C, that is Control rightbracket
- followed immediately by the letter C.)
-
- EXIT To return back to DOS.
-
- HELP To get a list of KERMIT commands.
-
- RECEIVE To accept a file from the remote system.
-
- SEND To send a file to the remote system.
-
- SET To establish system-dependent parameters. The SET options
- are as follows:
-
- BAUD To set terminal speed to 300, 1200, 1800,
- 2400, 4800 (default) and 9600.
-
- DEBUG To set debug mode ON or OFF (default is OFF).
-
- ESCAPE To change the escape sequence that lets you
- return to the PC Kermit from the remote host.
- The default is CTRL-] c.
-
- FILE-WARNING ON/OFF, default is OFF. If ON, Kermit will warn
- you and rename an incoming file so as not to
- write over a file that currently exists with the
- same name.
-
- IBM ON/OFF, default is OFF. This flag should be
- ON only when transfering files between the PC
- and an IBM VM/CMS system.
-
- LOCAL-ECHO ON/OFF, default is OFF. This sets the duplex.
- It should be ON when using the IBM and OFF for
- the DEC-20.
-
- VT52-EMULATION Determines whether Kermit should emulate a
- VT52 or have to PC run in "native" mode.
- The options are ON (default) and OFF.
-
- STATUS To see the values of parameters that can be modified
- via the SET command.
