It takes a few minutes for me to get a 1.5 megabyte binary file from
somewhere in the USA to my host in London; it then took 3.75 HOURS
to download this to my computer via modem (a local call) using C-Kermit!
What can I do about that? Explanations gratefully received.

Being practical here rather than arguing over moralistic issues,
users are far better off getting the latest Kermits from Columbia rather
than using ancient versions found on distribution media. Look at how old
that stuff is. Getting them is very easy. Supporting them is not cheap, as
you know and seemingly wish to avoid.
