;;; Commentary:

;; I'm not sure, but I think somebody asked about running kermit under shell
;; mode a while ago.  Anyway, here is some code that I find useful.  The result
;; is that I can log onto machines with primitive operating systems (VMS and
;; ATT system V :-), and still have the features of shell-mode available for
;; command history, etc.  It's also handy to be able to run a file transfer in
;; an emacs window.  The transfer is in the "background", but you can also
;; monitor or stop it easily.

;; The ^\ key is bound to a function for sending escape sequences to kermit,
;; and ^C^Q can be used to send any control characters needed thru to the
;; system you connect to.  A more serious problem is that some brain-dead
;; systems will not recognize a ^J as an end-of-line character.  So LFD is
;; bound to a new function which acts just like CR usually does in shell-mode,
;; but a ^M is sent as an end-of-line.  Funcions are also provied to swap the
;; bindings of CR and LFD.  I've also included a filter which will clean out
;; any ^M's or ^@'s that get typed at you, but I don't really recommend it.
;; There doesn't seem to be an acceptably fast way to do this via emacs-lisp.
;; Invoking kermit by the command " kermit | tr -d '\015' " seems to work
;; better (on my system anyway).

;; Here's how I've been using this setup.  We have several machines connected
;; thru a fairly stupid terminal switch.  If I want to connect to unix system,
;; then I use the LFD key to talk to the switch, and ignore any ^M's in the
;; buffer, and do a " stty -echo nl " after I log in.  Then the only real
;; differnce from being in local shell-mode is that it is you need to to type
;; ^C^Q^C to send an interrupt, and ^C^Q^Z for a stop signal, etc.  (since ^C^C
;; just generates a local stop signal, which kermit ignores).
;; To connect to a VMS system, I use a shell script to invoke kermit thru the
;; tr filter, do "M-X kermit-send-cr", and then tell VMS that I'm on a 
;; half-duplex terminal.

;; Some caveats:
;; 1) Kermit under shell mode is a real pain if you don't have pty's.  I
;; recently discovered this on our 3b2/400.  When kermit can't find a tty, it
;; assumes it is supposed to be in remote mode.  So the simple command "kermit"
;; won't work in shell mode on such a system.  You can get around this by using
;; the -c (connect) command line option, which means you also have to specify a
;; line and baud on the command line, as in "kermit -l /dev/tty53 -b 9600 -c".
;; However, this will cause kermit to exit when the connection is closed.  So
;; in order to do a file transfer, you have to think ahead and and add -r
;; (receive) to the command line.  This means that you can't use the server
;; feature.  The only fix I can see is to muck around with the source code for
;; kermit, although this problably wouldn't be too hard.  What is needed is an
;; option to force kermit to be local, to use stdin and stdout for interactive
;; speech, and to forget about cbreak mode.

;; Please let me know if any bugs turn up.
