I believe that you have a winmodem, these are not very bad news in your case, though, as you have a "software" problem.

My suggestion is reading this URL: http://www.modemsite.com/56k/flashback.asp In the case of U.S. Robotics modems, there are three methods to flash firmware (to hardware modems!!!). In the case of winmodems you should try either flashing them again (if these devices have an EEPROM that can be reflashed) or reinstalling the software. Good luck! Igor.

Some of these machine are still running DOS with ancient ssh 1 server. I am trying to get them to replace upgrade all the machines. They will not give up MS OS's on these machines. I have almost convinced them to buy new machines and Kermit 95, but they insiston my proving to them over a 90 day test trial that updated Kermit will work. I see that I can only get a 21 day test trial. Unfortunately on the machine I have available I demo-ed kermit 95 a year ago and I can not get a new installation to work. I removed Kermit 95 7 days before the trial was over but I guess something stays on the machine so I am unable to try it to see if just replacing the MS Kermit with Kermit 95 will work. They also have the 90 demo mandated. All have the exact same problem trying to automate them. My original intention was to use kermit for everything.

On the REMOTE LOGIN RAIS k95 wants to send an error report to Microsoft. I am unable to establish a remote connection. On the sysetm I enter k95 I always have to enter try.

Given what I am > seeing I would avoid Kermit 95 like the plague. I doubt that you can do what you want with Kermit 95. You are trying to run an ssh server on Windows and execute Kermit 95 as a subprocess of the ssh server and use it as if it were a remote kermit file transfer engine. That is not what Kermit 95 is designed to do. Kermit 95 assumes it has control over a GUI window or a Console window. Under the ssh server it has neither. I'm not surprised it crashes. I wouldn't waste my time with it either under this scenario. If you are using the cygwin ssh server even more so because the cygwin environment is a bit special. You really need to run programs compiled with the cygwin runtime under the cygwin ssh server. If I were you I would compile gkermit under cygwin and use that under the ssh kermit. Kermit 95 is a perfectly good ssh client but it should not be used on the server side.

Who/what is closing the session? Obviously it's not Kermit. It's either the host you're ssh'd to, or it's a NAT or router or somesuch in between. I use K95 SSH all day every day and have never seen a problem like this, but then I'm not dealing with firewalls or NATs either. You should begin by finding out where this 1-hour timer is set. Maybe the place where this occurs does not care if the session is idle, it's simply an elapsed-time limit on the session. But it's not in Kermit. - Frank From dold@XReXXSSHXT.usenet.us.com Thu Nov 9 10:44:54 2006 Path: reader2.panix.com!reader1.panix.com!panix!logbridge.uoregon.edu!tethys.csu.net!newshub.sdsu.edu!newsfeed.news2me.com!nntp1.phx1.gblx.net!nntp.gblx.net!nntp.gblx.net!wasp.rahul.net!192.160.13.20.MISMATCH!rahul.net!azure.rahul.net!dold From: dold@XReXXSSHXT.usenet.us.com Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: Re: SSH Timeout help Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 00:07:12 +0000 (UTC) Organization: "a2i network" Lines: 23 Message-ID: References: NNTP-Posting-Host: azure.rahul.net X-Trace: blue.rahul.net 1163030832 28013 192.160.13.38 (9 Nov 2006 00:07:12 GMT) X-Complaints-To: support@rahul.net NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 00:07:12 +0000 (UTC) User-Agent: tin/1.6.2-20030910 ("Pabbay") (UNIX) (Linux/2.6.9-34.0.2.EL (i686)) X-Comment: Encoded From: line allows replies that preserve original subject Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15589 Frank Da Cruz wrote: > Addressing this one sepately...

I use K95 SSH all day as well, with many sessions open. Some of the sessions stay open for days with no activity. Two of the sessions consistently close during a period of inactivity. One is to a ksh prompt on a Unix server that is supposed to be very secure, and probably has various timeouts set. The other is out through a firewall. In both cases, I have little reason to suspect that it is kermit, since connecting to the outside server from the outside, without going through the firewall, can sit idle for hours. In both cases, I think it is aggressive "security" tuning by the same network admins. -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley Lake, CA, USA GPS: 38.8,-122.5 From arthur.marsh@internode.on.net Thu Nov 9 10:45:21 2006 Path: reader2.panix.com!reader1.panix.com!panix!newsfeed.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp!ken-transit.news.telstra.net!lon-in.news.telstra.net!news.telstra.net!news-server.bigpond.net.au!53ab2750!not-for-mail From: Arthur Marsh User-Agent: Icedove 1.5.0.7 (X11/20061013) MIME-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: Re: SSH Timeout help References: In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: Lines: 44 Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 01:27:26 GMT NNTP-Posting-Host: 124.178.205.28 X-Complaints-To: abuse@bigpond.net.au X-Trace: news-server.bigpond.net.au 1163035646 124.178.205.28 (Thu, 09 Nov 2006 12:27:26 EST) NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 12:27:26 EST Organization: BigPond Internet Services Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15590 Frank da Cruz wrote, On 2006-11-09 08:50: > On 2006-11-08, Scott Caissie wrote: > : We just moved over to SSH.

This started happening about 7 Dec 2006 when a new release (or a patch to) Columbia's Cisco Content Switching Modules (CSMs) was installed. Connections to the FTP server seem normal (except that sometimes you reach an empty file system, but that's a different problem). But then a GET or an MGET, in either passive or active mode, generally results in a hung session after downloading all or most of the file. My theory is that the TCP RST packet that is sent when the FTP server closes the data connection is not being forwarded by the CSM because it's a "runt", but who knows. The server believes the transfer was successful and sends "226 Transfer complete." on the control connection. So depending on how your FTP client is coded, it might accept an incomplete file as if it was complete. Anyway the problem has been reported to Cisco, and our sysadmins (I'm not one any more) are looking into a workaround. In the meantime, I've enabled HTTP (Web) access to all the files in the FTP archive: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftp/ Any files downloaded with FTP from Columbia since Thursday are likely to be corrupt, and that includes files in any and all sites that mirror the Columbia's FTP site. Watch this space for further news, and/or the Kermit Project home page: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ Meanwhile, I took advantage of the situation to add a crude but effective timeout mechanism to C-Kermit's FTP client: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckdaily.html So far it works only for GET and MGET, not for PUT or MPUT, and not for operations on the control connection like DIR, but at least now you can time out of hung GETs: set ftp timeout 20 get x.tar.gz The timeout value is in seconds. It applies not to the whole tranfer, but to each attempt to read from the data connection, kind of like Kermit protocol per-packet timeouts. This feature works in consort with SET FTP ERROR-ACTION and SET FILE INCOMPLETE, so you can decide what should happen if there is a timeout -- keep the incomplete file or delete it; go on to the next one (if MGET'ing) or stop dead. Remember, you are downloading in binary mode and the file is incomplete, in most cases (depending on the server) you can REGET it rather than starting over. - Frank From wesley.baker@west.com Tue Dec 12 17:29:57 2006 Path: reader2.panix.com!reader1.panix.com!panix!newsfeed.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp!newshub.sdsu.edu!postnews.google.com!16g2000cwy.googlegroups.com!not-for-mail From: "Wesley Baker" Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: Kermit 95 dialstatus Date: 12 Dec 2006 12:21:49 -0800 Organization: http://groups.google.com Lines: 40 Message-ID: <1165954909.794452.7260@16g2000cwy.googlegroups.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 199.38.51.134 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Trace: posting.google.com 1165954915 4461 127.0.0.1 (12 Dec 2006 20:21:55 GMT) X-Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:21:55 +0000 (UTC) User-Agent: G2/1.0 X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727),gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe) Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com Injection-Info: 16g2000cwy.googlegroups.com; posting-host=199.38.51.134; posting-account=e6lq9g0AAAC5ZP3ZkPBpNl5NjQkeUjSI Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15599 Hello all - I am a complete newbie to Kermit and have been tooling around with it the past few days trying to write a script that will call a set of numbers and return the status of each. The problem I keep running in to is the limited information I am getting back from dialstatus. If I use the pdial function to dial the numbers, it will return a status 11 (OK) every time, whether it is a good number or not. If I use the dial function, I get a successful BUSY test, but it will return NO ANSWER, even if the call was picked up. Frank suggested earlier that I read up on the pager example on the Kermit website at http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/pagers.html, but I run into the same problems.

Step #2 Command --> Terminal Define test { ; various commands CONNECT } One the script is done, the CONNECT command goes to the TERMINAL. Step #3 ?? Terminal --> Command Now heres my question. Can a macro issue a command through OUTPUT or TRIGGER that will cause you to return back to the COMMAND window? I know you can't OUTPUT \Kexit. I'm not sure if TRIGGER is buggy or not but it loses its trigger in a certain situations without actually "triggering" you back to the COMMAND window. I'm not having much luck in getting OUTPUT and TRIGGER to work together.

Triggers work on INPUT not on OUTPUT. If the host echo's the data back, then the trigger can be triggered. If the host doesn't echo the data back, then there is nothing to trigger on. If your terminal is in local-echo mode, then the host is not sending any data and the local-echo would have been processed when the OUTPUT command was executed. In that case, the trigger would not go off because you were not in CONNECT mode when the INPUT was processed. Scripts cannot control operations that are performed while the "terminal" is displayed to the end-user. The CONNECT command specifically gives control to the end-user and pauses the execution of scripts. The only exceptions are idle actions, triggers, and host driven events (file transfers, APCs, ...). Kermit does not have a mode that permits the command processor and the terminal to operate simultaneously because the command processor is not thread safe. Adding thread safety to the command processor will require a complete re-write.

I don't see anything in my notes about problems with or fixes to this. Incidentally, INPUT has a bunch of related variables that you might find useful. You can see them by typing "show var ^in" (show all the builtin variables whose names start with "in"): \v(input) = The current INPUT buffer contents (circular) \v(inchar) = The character most recently read by INPUT \v(incount) = 0 How many chars were read by the most recent INPUT \v(inmatch) = The string that the INPUT command matched \v(instatus) = -1 Status of last INPUT command \v(intime) = -1 Elapsed time for the most recent INPUT to complete \v(inwait) = 0 Time limit specified for most recent INPUT \v(inmatch) is useful with MINPUT, when you are looking for any of a number of strings to show up, so you know which one you got. This result is typically used as a SWITCH control, to process the event. It's also useful when using INPUT with \fpattern() to search for a pattern rather than a literal string, to know what the string was that matched the pattern. \v(instatus) is: 0 if INPUT succeeded 1 if the INPUT command timed out 2 if the user interrupted the INPUT command from the keyboard 3 (internal error, shouldn't happen) 4 i/o error or connection lost. 5 Kermit server active (INPUT attempted with WIKSD).

As far as I > can tell: > > http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95faq.html#vista I do not foresee major issues on 32-bit Windows Vista. Where there will be issues are support for the 64-bit Windows Vista platforms. While Kermit 95 will run as a 32-bit application in the WOW64 environment, there will be issues. Windows Vista requires applications to be digitally signed if they are going to be permitted to make outbound internet connections or accept incoming connections. The existing Kermit 95 release is not digitally signed. The binaries I distribute as updates to registered users are signed. The Windows Internet Kermit Service is unlikely to work on Vista. The private interfaces that Kermit 95 uses to generate authentication tokens for incoming connections were removed as part of the increased security of Vista. > K95 2.1.3 works OK on Vista: but there are some bumps, and I did not have > the opportunity to test every little thing.

The new management here > needs some convincing, and in the end the marketplace speaks loudest. The most important questions that I would ask if I were Columbia University management are: * how many existing users would pay for an update? * how much would they pay? Free updates to existing Kermit 95 users will not generate revenues sufficient to underwrite the development costs. To give users some idea of the costs of software development. Secure Endpoints Inc. has developed the Network Identity Manager which is distributed as part of MIT Kerberos for Windows version 3.1. This application cost more than $225,000 to design and implement. The AFS and K.X509 plug-ins for Network Identity Manager cost about $35,000 each. Kermit 95 is in many ways a much more complex tool to develop and support than Network Identity Manager. It utilizes many more Windows APIs and has a much more challenging user interface. The development costs associated with the upgrade that Frank da Cruz is proposing will require approximately $65,000 to be invested in the short term. At $25 an upgrade license would require 2600 users just to break even. I encourage you to assist Frank da Cruz make his case to management. I believe the best way to do so is to publicly state what you are willing to pay to see a future release of Kermit 95 from Columbia University.

I license K-95 for two machines (two licenses). I am willing to pay up to $100. to upgrade (that's $50. ea, $100. total), particularly if there might be a third edition of _Using C-Kermit_ in the works.

If you examine the /tmp/ckT9ayfB file you should see it. If that is in fact the case, then when C-Kermit parses the LISTFILE searching for the specified pattern it does in fact find it.

FTP CHECK is implemented as: case FTP_CHK: /* Check if remote file(s) exist(s) */ if ((x = cmtxt("remote filename", "", &s, xxstring)) < 0) return(x); CHECKCONN(); success = remote_files(1,(CHAR *)s,NULL,0) ? 1 : 0; return(success); The problem is that remote_files() returns a CHAR * not a success or failure value. In this case, because no pattern parameter is being specified, the return value is a pointer to the static buffer containing /bin/ls: tst: No such file or directory This is because in remote_files() the NLST case doesn't handle the situation where the server returns an error string instead of the file name. if (mgetmethod == SND_NLS) { /* NLST... */ if (pattern) { if (!ckmatch((char *)pattern,p,(servertype == SYS_UNIX),1)) goto again; } } The end result is that the non-NULL return is being treated as a success value. This could be fixed by treating by using the 'arg' as the 'pattern' in the NLST case if 'pattern' is not specified or by passing in 'arg' as the 'pattern' into the remote_files() call in the FTP_CHK block.

I have 3 scenarios listed below. Scenario #1 (my original simple setup) OUTPUT \Kdecf06 INPUT 1 \Kdecf06 The terminal won't update. In fact it acts like INPUT 0 \Kdecf06. Theres no actual pause using 1 rather than 0. Scenario #2 OUTPUT \Klfarr\Kdecf06 INPUT 1 \Klfarr\Kdecf06 This also doesn't work....still no actual pause or updating. Scenario #3 OUTPUT \8\Kdecf06 INPUT 1 \8\Kdecf06 This works. I was wondering if Kverbs had complications with this. I had another macro which uses OUTPUT/INPUT very intensely and occassionally it loses it's place, and I think this might be the reason why. The terminal doesn't seem to always update when it should. Its going to take me about an hour to verify if all my statements are being processed correctly, but before I do that, I want to know precisely what I'm looking for.

Since keyboard escape sequences are not going to be echo'd back to the terminal for input processing, it is the equivalent of INPUT "some string that is never ever going to come" You use the INPUT command to wait for the sequence that the host sends in response to the sequence you sent with OUTPUT.

For this project, I always want to have MORE characters than the actual variable's size. So I'm trying to add in spaces. Thats my problem. Making it less is easy. Example from my project: .q_formatted := \fstripx(\fsubstr(\m(getdata),1,13),\9) The saved value has up to 13 characters, but mostly it has less. For testing purposes, I'm trying to fixate the saved character length to 20. The reasoning for doing this, is that I want to save a multitude of values into 1 entry within an Array. And by it's character position, other macros can determine what the value is represents. The end result would be: Characters 1-20 = First value Characters 21-25 = Second value Characters 26-30 = Thrid value Characters 31-32 = Forth value Characters 33-36 = Fifth value Characters 37-40 = Sixth value Characters 41-44 = Seveth value I can technically do it, but I'm sure I'm going about it the wrong way. Below is an example I just typed up. It wasn't tested yet. All it does (or should do), is check for the length difference and use the repeat function to add in spaces for the remainder. .q_formatted := \fstripx(\fsubstr(\m(getdata),1,13),\9) if < \flength(\fstripx(\fsubstr(\m(getdata),1,13),\9)) 20 { .q_formatted := \m(q_formatted)\frepeat(\32,\feval(20-\flength(\fstripx(\fsubstr(\m(getdata),1,13),\9)))) } * I'm not at a computer which has the K95 system on it right now so that example I just gave might have improper syntax.

I was trying to map the Gray Delete key to send \{27}\{81} i.e. (ESCQ) which is what a host is expecting to see for DEL as opposed to the Kermit default of \{127}. When sending ESCQ what actually gets sent on the wire is ESCq with any single letter coming after the ESC getting translated to lowercase. Any ideas why the case conversion occurs? other emulations I tried seem to be fine, but not ibm3151. This occurs with any simple uppercase ESC X call thought other more complex calls are fine. An attempt to send ESCQQ which transmits as ESCQQ so my workaround right now is to map the del to use an artificially complex sequence by adding offsetting right and left cursor moves to get it to work. set term key ibm3151 /literal \4398 \{27}\{81}\krtarr\klfarr Hope this helps someone and perhaps the reason for this can be discovered and or fixed should another release of Kermit be issued.

If you transferred the files unzipped, Kermit could convert the character sets on the fly ("set file character-set", "set transfer character-set") and store them in a sensible record format. There might be a way to force matters using some crazy syntax in the destination filename, but I don't remember enough about VMS to say for sure. Of course, any VMS programmers are welcome to take a look at this and jump in. - Frank From arthur.marsh@internode.on.net Tue Jan 30 14:13:31 2007 Path: reader2.panix.com!reader1.panix.com!panix!newsfeed.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp!newsfeeds.ihug.co.nz!ihug.co.nz!ken-transit.news.telstra.net!lon-in.news.telstra.net!news.telstra.net!news-server.bigpond.net.au!53ab2750!not-for-mail From: Arthur Marsh User-Agent: Icedove 1.5.0.9 (X11/20061220) MIME-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: C-Kermit example: querying a news server Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: Lines: 53 Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2007 13:18:36 GMT NNTP-Posting-Host: 124.177.207.179 X-Complaints-To: abuse@bigpond.net.au X-Trace: news-server.bigpond.net.au 1169990316 124.177.207.179 (Mon, 29 Jan 2007 00:18:36 EST) NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 00:18:36 EST Organization: BigPond Internet Services Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15635 Please respond if you see this posting.

The only reasons I know of that this would happen are: 1. The files are from OpenSSL 0.9.7 or later but you have not included -DOPENSSL_097 in the compiler flags; or: 2.

If indeed these files are where you say they are, and indeed they are the SSL version you say they are, and indeed you have included the -DOPENSSL_097 flag in the compilation, and indeed you have not pointed the makefile at some other SSL directory tree, it should work (but there will be a few unavoidable but harmless warnings in the security modules). It should work because /usr/local/ is the makefile variable "sslroot" is defined by default as "/usr/local", which it uses unless you redefine sslroot, SSLINC, or SSLLIB. If it doesn't work, then something is not as you described it. We know that the makefile is finding *some* SSL header files, but cpp is having a problem with them. What do you see when you do this: ce /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl grep OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT opensslv.h What happens if you omit the -DOPENSSL_097 flag, but leave everything else the same? Anyway, it will take some trial and error. You have to make the compiler flags (presence or absence of -DOPENSSL_097) agree with the OpenSSL version of the header files that are actually being read by cpp. - Frank From stephen.bozarth@gmail.com Sat Feb 24 14:29:46 2007 Path: reader2.panix.com!panix!newsfeed-00.mathworks.com!newsfeed2.dallas1.level3.net!news.level3.com!postnews.google.com!p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com!not-for-mail From: "nospam" Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: Re: Interfacing with Excel documents Date: 23 Feb 2007 11:52:22 -0800 Organization: http://groups.google.com Lines: 7 Message-ID: <1172260342.329448.253400@p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com> References: <5hrda4-qrf.ln1@CPE-138-217-213-250.sa.bigpond.net.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: 24.199.148.221 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Trace: posting.google.com 1172260348 20473 127.0.0.1 (23 Feb 2007 19:52:28 GMT) X-Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com NNTP-Posting-Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:52:28 +0000 (UTC) In-Reply-To: <5hrda4-qrf.ln1@CPE-138-217-213-250.sa.bigpond.net.au> User-Agent: G2/1.0 X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe) Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com Injection-Info: p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com; posting-host=24.199.148.221; posting-account=F3-DyQ0AAABnQuQZBKWD2mPtfPghcbc8 Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15652 As Kermit is not COM aware, you can not control Excel via Kermit.

Again, I have Solaris 9 and OpenSSL 0.9.8d here too, just like you, and I'm building it with Sun CC (not gcc), just like you, and C-Kermit/SSL builds with no problem. There is no #define EM anywhere in the C-Kermit source code, so the #undef must be to undo some conflict between OpenSSL and Solaris headers. But in that case, why do you see the problem and I don't -- nor, as far as I know, anybody else? I notice that the suggested location for the #undef is right after this: #ifdef ZLIB #include #endif /* ZLIB */ Maybe comp.h, or something it includes (such as crypto.h), or something crypto.h includes, or something that one of those includes, and on and on, is the culprit. You can build Kermit with SSL but without compression. Just omit the -DZLIB switch.

Why not license an existing one, such as C-Kermit (for embedding): http://kermit.columbia.edu/ek.html or C-Kermit (for Unix): http://kermit.columbia.edu/ckermit.html or Kermit 95 (for Windows): http://kermit.columbia.edu/k95.html By doing that, you help to support the nonprofit Kermit Project and you get a better implementation than you would have coded from scratch, and one that is proven in the field. - Frank From ramon@conexus.net Mon Mar 5 17:43:07 2007 Path: reader2.panix.com!panix!newsfeed.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp!nx01.iad01.newshosting.com!newshosting.com!198.186.194.247.MISMATCH!news-out.readnews.com!news-xxxfer.readnews.com!postnews.google.com!p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com!not-for-mail From: "Ramon F Herrera" Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: Kermit insists on treating PDF files as text Date: 5 Mar 2007 10:05:08 -0800 Organization: http://groups.google.com Lines: 12 Message-ID: <1173117905.196167.64710@p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 24.173.239.222 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Trace: posting.google.com 1173117927 22933 127.0.0.1 (5 Mar 2007 18:05:27 GMT) X-Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 18:05:27 +0000 (UTC) User-Agent: G2/1.0 X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe) Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com Injection-Info: p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com; posting-host=24.173.239.222; posting-account=rkyc4gwAAACvcVtKxGMERXfL3J2QlrNy Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15661 Desktop side: Kermit 95 version 2.1.3 on WinXP Server side: C-Kermit 8.0.209 on Linux Using SSH sessions I type "bin" on both sides, but Kermit stubbornly transfers the PDF file as text.

Very infrequently -- but mainly with PDF or certain PostScript files -- it can turn out that the first 48K are, indeed, text, and the "binary" part happens later, and the default file scan comes up with a false positive for text. The cited material shows the many available workarounds. The simplest one, if you want to control the transfer mode yourself is, is: SET TRANSFER MODE MANUAL and then use SEND /BINARY and SEND /TEXT. Other options include using filenamename associations instead of scanning the file's content, and increasing the length of the scan. - Frank From mortier@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr Sat Mar 31 14:27:15 2007 Path: reader2.panix.com!panix!news.linkpendium.com!news.linkpendium.com!news.glorb.com!postnews.google.com!n76g2000hsh.googlegroups.com!not-for-mail From: "mortier" Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: INPUT MINPUT case sensitive Date: 25 Mar 2007 09:49:23 -0700 Organization: http://groups.google.com Lines: 7 Message-ID: <1174841363.610519.267370@n76g2000hsh.googlegroups.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 81.57.18.151 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Trace: posting.google.com 1174841365 14395 127.0.0.1 (25 Mar 2007 16:49:25 GMT) X-Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com NNTP-Posting-Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2007 16:49:25 +0000 (UTC) User-Agent: G2/1.0 X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061206 Firefox/1.5.0.9,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe) Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com Injection-Info: n76g2000hsh.googlegroups.com; posting-host=81.57.18.151; posting-account=jw5YvA0AAAA0Aej0_tk88B_XbXa4B4dO Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15663 Hello all, I've been unable to find in the site how to write a INPUT or MINPUT waiting for a given CASE SENSITVE pattern.

The \&@[] array contains *all* the command-line arguments -- command-line options for Kermit as well as arguments for the script. When you write a kerbang script, normally you would only want the script to process the arguments that are for the script itself. And as expected the \&_[0] element contains the name of the script, rather than the name of Kermit. For details see: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit70.html#x7.19 (kerbang scripts) and: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit70.html#x7.19 (passing arguments) and: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit70.html#x7.5 (using > 10 arguments) Note that \&_[1] through \&_[9] are the same as \%1 through \%9 -- i.e. the regular macro / command-file arguments. The array is useful for accessing the arguments programmatically by number, and also allows for more than 9 arguments. - Frank From homeyjoe@gmail.com Tue Aug 7 13:01:01 2007 Path: reader2.panix.com!panix!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!newsfeed.stanford.edu!postnews.google.com!g12g2000prg.googlegroups.com!not-for-mail From: homeyjoe@gmail.com Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: Kermit ftp blocked Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:21:50 -0000 Organization: http://groups.google.com Lines: 13 Message-ID: <1185906110.645169.36120@g12g2000prg.googlegroups.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 216.183.247.98 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Trace: posting.google.com 1185906111 8178 127.0.0.1 (31 Jul 2007 18:21:51 GMT) X-Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:21:51 +0000 (UTC) User-Agent: G2/1.0 X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.5,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe) Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com Injection-Info: g12g2000prg.googlegroups.com; posting-host=216.183.247.98; posting-account=ps2QrAMAAAA6_jCuRt2JEIpn5Otqf_w0 Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15677 I'm running on AIX 5 and if I use unix ftp commands I can connect to my ftp site and download files.

While building the lastest release of C-Kermit from source retrieved several days ago from the site, my laptop who's running Slackware-7.1, old but works well on older gear, the process decided to crash complaining about a typo. It was regarding the definition of a term, regarding the crypt libraries. However trying it again, this time extracting into a fresh directory it didn't happen. Instead I get a normal build. I can present a script file of the process for those that are interested. And here's something strange. In the interim I grabbed a binary, thinking I would use that if I couldn't get a good build made. Instead it complains about missing symbols in the libraries. That message I don't have, because I discarded the binary after building the working one. What is interesting to note is that the laptop is wearing the latest series of patches that were available at the time the distribution was released, and the issues were of course identified. These were complaints about the Glibc signatures found in the runtime libraries. Can one of you at the Kermit place check the dates of your installed Glibc kits and advise me accordingly?

Im working on a Linux machine (fedora core 7) and connect trough ssh or telnet to a server, on which ITX (=Wordperfect for Unix) runs. For some reason, i cannot use any of the WP shortcuts. I need shift-f7 - The printer menu - to test printers for users.. Now, the normal F1 through F12 work fine, but not SHIFT / CTRL / ALT combos. My collegues, on windows, use K95. this is preconfigured a long time ago (the mappings etc).i dived into the conf files and see wether any special parameters where set. i coulndt find any, except termninal protocol is vt220 or kermit. on linux this should not be neccesary, since xterm already has the vt220 terminal "embedded". I've already tried installing Ckermit, and copy the windows .INI files (with the key mappings for Kermit) onto my machine(and edit them slighty), to no avail..I tried downloading premade mappings from http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftp and place those in my .kermrc file. To no avail... Searching the newsgroups i found commands like " set terminal keyboard- mode wp" to set kermit in WP mode.. But Ckermit is not excepting this.. That is to say, in those post people reffer to "pressing ctrl-x" to get in command mode, but that doenst do anything . I simply start kermit by typing kermit at the prompt, and then telnet or ssh at the C-Kermit prompt.. once logged on there, i start ITX. Somehow i have a strange feeling my xterm or (Gnome-term for that matter) simply does not send the shift-F7 keystroke to the remote machine... I've tried export TERM=vt220, in the idle hope that that might change anything, to no avail... I tried from a normal terminal (no x), with the same results.. Since kermit is so well documented im starting to feel rather stupid at this stage.. Im no expert, but most of this is not new to me, so what im a doing wrong here? I just need this silly SHIFT-F7! Does anyone here by any chance know how to fix this??? Any help would be greatly apprecited. If i need to suplly any info, please dont hesitate to contact me.

In Windows, an application (such as K95) can "see" the keyboard. In Linux it can only read characters from stdin. C-Kermit has no idea if you press F7 or Alt-F7 or Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F7 -- it only gets the bytes that the console driver gives to it and passes them along to the host you are connected to.

I don't remember where it would be installed but you would have to select the optional SRP modules during the installation process. SRPFILTR.DLL is a Windows Password Change hook that would permit automatic synchronization of the local Windows account password and the SRP Password Hash file. Jeffrey Altman Secure Endpoints Inc.

Apparently, the sript driving the session has a 'close session-log' command that is preeeded by a 'log session' command.

I think I figured out a part of the problem myself. I learned that the filename is illegal if a digit appears directly after a '.'. So I changed the filename to this: D123.XXXXXX.YYYYYY.D071029.A1 And in fact, the home directory I arrive at when I login, is 'D123.', so the name I must use is: XXXXXX.YYYYYY.D071029.A1 With that knowledge I run 'put XXXXXX.YYYYYY.D071029.A1' in K95, but I still get this error: Invalid data set name "XXXXXX_YYYYYY_D071029.A1".

OK, bluntly, given your descriptions, _you_ cannot get C-Kermit to do that which you want to happen. Building application-specific 'screen-scraping' logic in Kermit macro-language *is* possible, but *very* _painful_, and works only for the exact screen form for which it was coded. If _anything_ changes regarding how the remote machine generates the screen, the macro programming requires major reworking. Developing such macros requires an *intimate*knowledge* of what the remote machine is doing, and what kind of device it 'thinks' it is talking to, *AND* the gory details of the formatting/addressing protocol(s) being used. And if the remote machine's concept of the terminal device can be changed or not. Also, if it can be changed, what are _all_ the possible alternatives. As you apparently lack this essential information about the environment you are trying to work in, and don't have the experience to simply 'recognize on sight' the protocol data in what you have described as the 'total garbage', you do not have the required skill-set to build the solution you need. (This _is_ "specialist" knowledge/skills -- unless you routinely do work involving 'faking a terminal', it's not surprising that you don't know these things -- they're *not* part of the 'general skills'. ) Your best bet is to hire a knowledgeable professional -- one _with_ expertise in 'serial port communications' -- for (A) a consultation on 'what is going on' in your specific situation, (B) 'what is practical' as regards EXACTLY what you are trying to accomplish, and then, possibly (C) development of custom software -- probably not based on Kermit -- to solve your problem. Feel free to e-mail me directly with further questions. Please start the subject line with 'KERMIT', so I'll see it.

For example, the host application paints a manu and at the bottom it prints "Choice?" and the user is supposed to enter the number (or whatever) of the desired menu item. Well, if "Choice?" is the last thing that the host sends (which is something you can tell from a session log), then: clear input input 10 Choice? if failure (do something) output 3\13 is all you need for waiting for the menu to paint itself (assuming it does so within 10 seconds) and to choose menu item number 3. On the other hand, if you really need to reference specific screen coordinates or the contents of specifi screen fields , you can do this with Kermit 95 on Windows because, unlike C-Kermit, in incorporates its own terminal emulator and knows what is on the screen and where. Perhaps if you describe a typical session of the type you want to automate, I can show you how to do it. Meanwhile, take a look at the brief Kermit scripting tutorial here: http://kermit.columbia.edu/ckscripts.html and the many sample scripts that are included in the script library, listed on the same page. - Frank From john.santos@post.harvard.edu Mon Dec 17 11:41:20 2007 Path: reader1.panix.com!panix!newsfeed-00.mathworks.com!newscon02.news.prodigy.net!prodigy.net!wns14feed!worldnet.att.net!199.45.49.37!cyclone1.gnilink.net!spamkiller.gnilink.net!gnilink.net!trnddc07.POSTED!60760995!not-for-mail From: John Santos Newsgroups: comp.protocols.kermit.misc Subject: Re: Screen Capture Message-ID: References: Reply-To: john.santos@post.harvard.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit User-Agent: MicroPlanet-Gravity/2.60.2060 Lines: 33 Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 07:48:12 GMT NNTP-Posting-Host: 71.174.120.246 X-Complaints-To: abuse@verizon.net X-Trace: trnddc07 1197791292 71.174.120.246 (Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:48:12 EST) NNTP-Posting-Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:48:12 EST Xref: panix comp.protocols.kermit.misc:15719 In article , 2damn@nospam.com says... > On Wed, 05 Dec 2007 17:50:19 +0000, John Santos wrote: > > > I take it you want to "screen scrape" the VT520? > > If I am using the correct terms, yes. > > > Does the 520 have a "print screen" feature?

I believe there is an escape sequence that can be sent to the terminal to do the same thing as pressing the "print screen" key. I didn't want to complicate the original post by going into that. If your program knows when to screen scrape, it can send the sequence at the appropriate time. If the program doesn't know when to do it, and the user has to press a key.

The system accepts commands just fine so long as I can compensate for some differences. The issue with garbled feedback applies only to "screen grabs". Using the kermit session record some "screens" just have "interuptions" with serial communication data and some seem completely broken and unrecognizable. I think the kermit session logging is not the way for me to correctly capture the feedback from the system. The ability to "screen grab" is very secondary to kermit being useful for my project. This week I have individual items running through 2 processes from a list thanks to the online kermit documentation. Adding an option for a third process and a useable kermit or bash menu will bring it up to snuff as a beta usable to others. Thanks for all the info so far.

But any form of scripting relies on the messages, prompts, menus, etc, being received intact. If you can't predict what is going to come, how can you reasonably write a script to react to it? If you have a network connection, there should be no garbling because network protocols take care of error correction and flow control. If you have a serial port or modem and you're getting garbage, you need to fix the garbage. If it's a modem, you need to be using an error-detecting and -correcting protocol between the two modems, and then (mode or direct connection) you need to have the most effective possible form of flow control enabled, which normally would be RTS/CTS (a.k.a.

I am currently using a generic FAIL message and will add better notices where needed. The trouble is that each feature is not exactally the same at all times. As I said I think kermit can deal with this. At the very least, well enough to send unsolvable items to an error report. > On the other hand, if you really need to reference specific screen > coordinates or the contents of specifi screen fields , you can do this > with Kermit 95 on Windows because, unlike C-Kermit, in incorporates its > own terminal emulator and knows what is on the screen and where. The system accepts commands just fine so long as I can compensate for some differences. The issue with garbled feedback applies only to "screen grabs". Using the kermit session record some "screens" just have "interuptions" with serial communication data and some seem completely broken and unrecognizable. I think the kermit session logging is not the way for me to correctly capture the feedback from the system. The ability to "screen grab" is very secondary to kermit being useful for my project. This week I have individual items running through 2 processes from a list thanks to the online kermit documentation. Adding an option for a third process and a useable kermit or bash menu will bring it up to snuff as a beta usable to others. Thanks for all the info so far.

I used kermit to log serial data to a file constantly, switching log files every midnight. It could also stream to a pipe, so you could manipulate the data on the fly, if the built in scripting wasn't enough. It's probably on your Linux distro already. comp.protocols.kermit.misc http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html -- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley Lake, CA, USA GPS: 38.8,-122.5
