In a previous posting I made reference to a free program called TCPPORT
which let you use Kermit over a TCP connection as a replacement for TELNET.

The version available at that time did not perform terminal negotiation so
it probably didn't work for many people.  This has been rectified and an
updated version is now available *WITH* some installation instructions.

Each keystroke or printed character uses one or more interrupts, so the
program is not as fast as NCSA telnet, but it does work nicely on a 
reasonable computer.

Use anonymous ftp to 129.97.128.196 and get the file APPS.ARC for the 
application executable and instructions, or get the rest of the files if
you wish to compile it yourself.

Enjoy

Erick
