As of version 3.14, MS-DOS Kermit is perfectly suitable as an external
protocol for BBS software, and there is even a small-size Kermit module
specifically intended for that purpose, called Kermit Lite. See the
relevent articles in Kermit News #6:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/newsn6.html
And see the BBS Operators Guide in the KERMIT.UPD file that comes with
MS-DOS Kermit 3.14.
Every Sysop of every DOS-based BBS in the world is welcome and encouraged
to install Kermit Lite as its Kermit protocol.
Makers of BBS software may also contact us for licensing the Kermit
module. Note that this is the real thing -- the most advanced, robust,
and high-performance Kermit implementation available for PCs. There is
no longer any reason for BBS's to lack Kermit protocol or to suffer with
a substandard or buggy implementation of it.
