Jacob,

I haven't tried this myself, but Linux Kermit has provisions for a
telnet connection (set host command) that opens a telnet session to the
remote machine. If you are able to telnet it to go to port 2001 instead
of 23, you might be able to get Linux to connect to the dialout server,
and then you'll be able to at least use kermit transfer. Granted it is
slow, but I have seen it work many a times when nothing else worked.

I wan't to use Seyon with a modem attached to Cray's
RemotePC Server (RPCS). Primarily the RPCS is used for remote
login on a network, but it also has a dial out function, which
I want to use with my favorit modem programs - Seyon and minicom.

'Dial out' modems on the RPCS are associated with a TCP/IP
or TELNET address like 192.20.183.250 2001. When I telnet
to the modem, I can dialup to a BBS but I can't do any down-
loading with e.g. the zmodem protocol. Also, it isn't funny
to enter AT commands all the time.

Now here is the question(s):
*************************
How do I use Seyon or minicom to connect to a TCP/IP or Telnet
port instead of using /dev/modem ?

Should I make a new device to do the work (and how do I do
that) or is there another way around?

I have setup Kermit to do the work without making new devices,
but I would be happy if I could use Seyon or minicom (I am more
happy with there interfaces).

When running DOS, I use a terminal program that suppports INT14
and an INT14 redirector (a program that redirects INT14 to
a TCP/IP port). It works fine, but offcourse it would be much
nicer to run a modem program under Linux :-)

I appreciate any kind of help.

/Jakob

I managed to get kermit work with the set host command, but I
think the dial directories and download protocol management
are somewhat easier to use in Minicom an Seyon than in Kermit :-)

Also most of the BBS's I use, don't have support for kermit.

Modemu works fine for me except for one thing:
It detects on 'silence' +++ 'silence' to get back to command
mode, and of course this is not smart when talking to my modem :-)

So I have to do a little modification in the source code to
switch off the escape code sequence.

Anyway modemu seems to be exactly the thing I was looking for.

I don't know where modemu is - you'll have to look for it with archie.
