----------
There is a full protocol behind those commands, not simple text
strings. I have not encountered saxcomm so I'll pass by comments on its
Kermit protocol implementation. The rules to the game are contained in
a book, "Kermit, a file transfer protocol" by Frank da Cruz, and supplemented
by more recent protocol additions described in files on kermit.columbia.edu.
