Setting up KERMIT for telnet over the wifi modem

[laffineuse]

Hi Group,
I am struggling with the Kermit setup to be able to telnet from the IMSAI.
When I do:

• set port uc1
• connect
• ats15=1
  I do get a response of "OK" for AT commands.
  But when I try to dial as in ATDT a80sappleiisbbs.ddns.net:6502 (or any other telnet sites), I immediately get a "NO ANSWER".
  What am I doing wrong?

Never mind! I found the solution, I had to run an STA configuration mode first, I was still in AP and therefore unable to access the internet.
Now with the correct configuration mode and the SSDI and password set, Kermit works like a charm.

I am having the same problem. How did you "run an STA conf mode first"??

Is explained in detail in the documentation:

Section "WiFi Communications"

Thanks, my IMSAI was already set to STA but I am still getting a no answer message when trying to connect to an external site using either the domain name or ip?

The site you try to reach might be down, I always test that with some PC and telnet before, if a site can be reached. Also many sites won't accept plain telnet connections anymore, only ssh encrypted sessions, and CP/M kermit can't do that, it will reject all encryption requests.

Thanks, I can connect to a number of sites ok using Putty. Will try a few more and see what happens.

I know this was a while back, but Dave over at the High Nibble recommended Tera Term 5 which is what I use now for the same PuTTY reasons. Have no issues with it -and it's free. ;)

If putty gets asked about encryption by a remote host, it will answer I can do that. CP/M kermit cannot and will reject the request. This is why I use a plain telnet command line tool for such tests, because that cannot do any encryption offered, and if the host rejects that, it will fail.

been interested in telneting into some of these BBSs that still seem to be around. Just downloaded a directory, so they're still out there for the hobbyists/enthusiasts. I even kept my landline after getting a new alarm system.

I have an old Atari 800 with an 810 modem, as well as a working landline.

But would love to incorporate my IMSAI 8080 if possible
Anyone out here mess with this?

I'm guessing I should probably emulate via the wifi modem first, before I move on to old hardware -if it's even possible. Just thought i might be kind of fun.

Thanks!
