Agreed !

I wish that would be common sense, but in fact not all BBS admins think the
same way. And then I'm off. I did not succeed to get minicom nor seyon, which
include xyz-modem _and_ kermit capabilities, running on my system (SunOS4.3).
I would like to use kermit only but there _are_ some sites, which cannot
handle it.
