                     23: ;; I'm not sure, but I think somebody asked about running kermit under shell
                     24: ;; mode a while ago.  Anyway, here is some code that I find useful.  The result
                     25: ;; is that I can log onto machines with primitive operating systems (VMS and
                     26: ;; ATT system V :-), and still have the features of shell-mode available for
                     27: ;; command history, etc.  It's also handy to be able to run a file transfer in
                     28: ;; an emacs window.  The transfer is in the "background", but you can also
                     29: ;; monitor or stop it easily.
                     30: 
                     31: ;; The ^\ key is bound to a function for sending escape sequences to kermit,
                     32: ;; and ^C^Q can be used to send any control characters needed thru to the
                     33: ;; system you connect to.  A more serious problem is that some brain-dead
                     34: ;; systems will not recognize a ^J as an end-of-line character.  So LFD is
                     35: ;; bound to a new function which acts just like CR usually does in shell-mode,
                     36: ;; but a ^M is sent as an end-of-line.  Funcions are also provied to swap the
                     37: ;; bindings of CR and LFD.  I've also included a filter which will clean out
                     38: ;; any ^M's or ^@'s that get typed at you, but I don't really recommend it.
                     39: ;; There doesn't seem to be an acceptably fast way to do this via emacs-lisp.
                     40: ;; Invoking kermit by the command " kermit | tr -d '\015' " seems to work
                     41: ;; better (on my system anyway).
                     42: 
                     43: ;; Here's how I've been using this setup.  We have several machines connected
                     44: ;; thru a fairly stupid terminal switch.  If I want to connect to unix system,
                     45: ;; then I use the LFD key to talk to the switch, and ignore any ^M's in the
                     46: ;; buffer, and do a " stty -echo nl " after I log in.  Then the only real
                     47: ;; differnce from being in local shell-mode is that it is you need to to type
                     48: ;; ^C^Q^C to send an interrupt, and ^C^Q^Z for a stop signal, etc.  (since ^C^C
                     49: ;; just generates a local stop signal, which kermit ignores).
                     50: ;; To connect to a VMS system, I use a shell script to invoke kermit thru the
                     51: ;; tr filter, do "M-X kermit-send-cr", and then tell VMS that I'm on a half-duplex
                     52: ;; terminal.
                     53: 
                     54: ;; Some caveats:
                     55: ;; 1) Kermit under shell mode is a real pain if you don't have pty's.  I
                     56: ;; recently discovered this on our 3b2/400.  When kermit can't find a tty, it
                     57: ;; assumes it is supposed to be in remote mode.  So the simple command "kermit"
                     58: ;; won't work in shell mode on such a system.  You can get around this by using
                     59: ;; the -c (connect) command line option, which means you also have to specify a
                     60: ;; line and baud on the command line, as in "kermit -l /dev/tty53 -b 9600 -c".
                     61: ;; However, this will cause kermit to exit when the connection is closed.  So
                     62: ;; in order to do a file transfer, you have to think ahead and and add -r
                     63: ;; (receive) to the command line.  This means that you can't use the server
                     64: ;; feature.  The only fix I can see is to muck around with the source code for
                     65: ;; kermit, although this problably wouldn't be too hard.  What is needed is an
                     66: ;; option to force kermit to be local, to use stdin and stdout for interactive
                     67: ;; speech, and to forget about cbreak mode.
                     68: 
                     69: ;; 2) The "clean-filter" can be a troublesome item.  The main problem arises if
                     70: ;; you are running a program under shell-mode which is doing periodic output,
                     71: ;; and you then try to switch to another buffer.  I came across this while
                     72: ;; running kermit file transfers - kermit prints a dot each time a packet is
                     73: ;; received. Since emacs is interrupted each time a dot is printed, it becomes
                     74: ;; impossible to edit the other buffer.  If you hit a key while the filter code
                     75: ;; is running, that character will wind up in the *shell* buffer instead of the
                     76: ;; current one!  So you need to be careful to turn the filter off before
                     77: ;; leaving the buffer if a program is still running.  In fact, you can't even
                     78: ;; use "M-x clean-shell-off" to do this, because you won't be able to type
                     79: ;; "clean-shell-off" in the minibuffer!!  So you need to have this command
                     80: ;; bound to a keystroke.
                     81: 
                     82: ;; Please let me know if any bugs turn up.
