What sets Kermit 95 apart from other PC communication packages?

  1. The Kermit Project supplies the software for both ends of the connection: Kermit 95 for your PC and the file-transfer or client/server partner for UNIX, VMS, VOS, IBM Mainframes, DOS, and lots of other platforms. No interoperability problems and no finger pointing. The new K95 1.1.20 package includes the C-Kermit 7.0 CDROM.

  2. Kermit Project software includes the definitive, up-to-date, full-featured, high-performance Kermit file-transfer protocol implementation.

  3. A powerful and uniform command and scripting language across hundreds of platforms and all connection methods, allowing you to automate any communication task in a transportable manner.

  4. A large repertoire of international character-set translations: more than 80 character sets available for terminal emulation and over 50 for file transfer. Now including Unicode. CLICK HERE for a list.

  5. Unlike other packages that "know what's best" for you, Kermit 95 lets you control and customize your communications environment, terminal emulation, screen appearance, keyboard, mouse, modem, dialing rules, Telnet and authentication policies, file-transfer protocol, and every other aspect of its operation.

K-95 FEATURES

Kermit 95 is available for:
Note: As of Kermit 95 version 1.1.16, the Windows NT PowerPC edition has been discontinued, since Windows NT itself has been discontinued for the PowerPC. The Alpha/NT version is frozen as of 1.1.20, since Alpha/NT was discontinued by Compaq and Microsoft. An IA64 version of Kermit 95 for Windows XP is not yet available. Kermit 95 is not available for Windows CE.

Kermit 95 works uniformly over a variety of connection methods:

Note: certain of the 3rd-party products listed above have been discontinued: SuperLAT, TES32, and perhaps PATHWORKS on certain platforms, but K95 1.1.20 still supports them.

Kermit 95 includes a graphical Dialer (menus, buttons, dialog boxes, notebooks, and all) to configure and launch all your connections without complicated initialization files, macro definitions, or commands of any kind. The Kermit engine itself is launched from the Dialer pushbutton-style to make each of your connections automatically with all the appropriate settings.

In addition to the graphical Dialer, Kermit 95 offers a console-mode command-line interface, similar to its cousins on UNIX, VMS, and MS-DOS (more about this in the Kermit 95 FAQ). The graphical Dialer, however, removes the need to interact directly with the command prompt in most cases. Yet all the commands are there in case you need them . . . or if you want to script them.

Kermit 95 is a multithreaded, 32-bit, protected-mode, preemptive multitasking serial and network communication software application that is fast, yet easy on your CPU. The Windows version is a fully native 32-bit Windows program; the OS/2 version is a fully native 32-bit OS/2 program.

Kermit 95 offers:

Special features in the OS/2 version include:
