======================
Hi Michel,

Thanks for the reply. I've unzipped some of your files from your
glueware page and read your readme's and studied your batch files.
Honestly, this may be a little too much of an ambitious project for me,
but I used to pull my hair out before I finally actually figured out how
to make lynx386 (ported to DOS) work with the wzppp dialer (by glenn
galbraith aka wizard57m). By no means am I any kind of 'expert' with DOS
but I can generally figure things out, I understand the need for the
larger environment variables when you have long command options in
lsppp/wzppp, And I sort of got the concept of wattcp.cfg and ip-up.bat
and how everything 'flows', after a week of frustration and hair pulling
and nearly giving up I finally, on my P-120 dos machine managed to get
lynx386, PINE, dos kermit all up and running using lsppp (or wzppp?),
they each have their own batch files that make them work individually,
so I felt like I had really accomplished something.

Your lsppp --> rlfossil --> commo 'glue' project is almost overwhelming
to me, but I am getting a better understanding of where things will go.
You say to use pkunzip with the -d option to unzip to the c:\ prompt and
it will unzip the necessary files to c:\ppp and I'll try that. The files
I have that I assume you mean are lspppdlr.zip ppp330f.zip and
lsppp08.zip ????? (do I need that or does your lspppdlr.zip already take
care of the lsppp needs. Next I suppose I would unzip commo77.zip to
c:\commo77 and the fossil driver file rlf123.zip to... ummm. where?

I already have kermit and it runs okay when I have a packet driver
loaded at 0x60 so I'm not worried about Kermit. Nor am I worried about
being able to use your setup to dial in local bbs as there is only one,
but if the capability is there as a result of setting up your glueware,
that's cool .

I am wondering what would happen if I tried this. Since I already have
lsppp (or wzppp) up and running on my P-120 to establish a ppp
connection to my ISP, could I not just fire it up, cd to c:\rlfossil
and run the RLfossil program and cause it to emulate a comport, my modem
is on com2, mouse is on com 1, so what comport/irq would I use?)
 exit rlfossil and then start commo??? I suppose instead of a phone
number (I think I saw this somewhere) with commo I would have it "dial" 
something like ATDP bbs.fidotel.com or perhaps it's numberic telnet
address ????

As you can tell, I don't know EXACTLY what to do, and for all I know you
(and others) are rolling your eyes in disbelief at my (dumb?) questions,
but if you can bear with me I'd certainly like to give this a go.

thanks for your time and patience,

Matt
