"Super Kermit" is a term coined elsewhere, and generally seems to refer to a
Kermit implementation that includes sliding windows or long packets, but
usually not both. The term "Super Kermit" is not used by the Kermit project.
It is extremely unlikely that you will find a Kermit implementation that is
done elsewhere that is as fast, flexible, or robust as real Kermit software.
To convince yourself of this, compare Kermit transfers done by MS-DOS Kermit
3.14 with those done by BananaCom. Use settings such as those described in
our FAQ:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/faq.html
for maximum speed, assuming BananaCom supports those settings, which is
doubtful. Feel free to post the results here.
