No What the user and a number of other people are looking for
is a GUI version of kermit. The kermit telnet is one of the best I
have seen and it would be great if it was a true Windows program.
I asked about this over a year ago and got a basic "we don't
do Windows". In five years from now, if you believe the press,
Microsoft will have everybody using Windows NT 5.0. Windows 95 is
a transition OS to give people time to replace their DOS programs
over the next 4 - 5 years.
I really wish the developers would re-consider about doing a
true GUI version of kermit that could be ported to Windows.
