We have here, sort of. One of the problems with Kermit is that it knows nothing about dialers (nor should it; we already have two programs on 4.2bsd (uucp and tip) that do, and that's quite enough). I gave Kermit another command-line option (I called it 'T'), which told it that it had been called with the "~C" command of tip. That way, tip takes care of the dialer, and the LCK file. The modification to Kermit was quite minor. -- Guy Middleton, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ont. ..{allegra,clyde,decvax,utcsrgv}!watmath!thunder!gamiddleton ..ihnp4!mmm!thunder!gamiddleton
