Mac Kermit is not well-maintained due to a persistent lack of
programmers who are both willing and able to do the job. I hope
the situation will change in the future. Meanwhile, if you are
not using version 0.991(190), then you might want to give it a try.
It cures the problem (bomb) with downloading that came up under
Mac OS 7.1. But of course, it still has other problems.
The easiest way to get the files needed for the current Mac Kermit
incarnation is through the Web:

Qualified Macintosh programmers are always welcome to look at
Mac Kermit and make any contributions they can, the most urgently
needed ones being bug fixes. Contact me if you are interested.
