Kermit for Netscape

[Bennett, Roy - Library]

We are using MS DOS Kermit (version 3.14) with our character-based 
menu system to script telnet sessions (e.g., FirstSearch, OPACs, 
etc.).  We use Trumpet telnet with Windows for Workgroups running 
Netscape 2.X.

We wanted to move Kermit over to Netscape as the telnet application 
so we could keep the same functionality we now have with our Kermit 
scripts.  However, we found that MS Dos Kermit can not run with 
Winsock.

Two questions:

1.  Is there someway to overcome the Kermit/Winsock incompatibility 
in Netscape? 

2.  If we need to give up on Kermit, which Windows 3.X telnet 
programs do you recommend with scripting capabilities like Kermit.

PS. We are an Innovative Interface site and face additional telnet 
problems with laser printers.

Thanks.
