Apparently there are things about Kermit Frank does not
understand besides how to do valid benchmarks.
Except for some very early versions, the Kermit support in Omen
Technology's Professional-YAM and ZCOMM comms programs has been
based on the "The Source" code, the last Columbia Kermit source
code made available to developers. Needless to say this code
has been extensively revised since then to fix bugs, enhance
performance and support various host systems. Newer Kermit
programs break Kermit spoofing in Telebit modems. They also
required modification to Yam's Kermit support which depended on
the 198x Kermit protocol.
