:
: Before I start re-inventing the wheel, is there already a version of

:
Yes:

: If so, does it support COM ports higher than COM4? (Like up to COM32)
:
Yes, provided your multiport hardware comes with 32-bit COM drivers.
: Are there any know problems running multiple instances of the same

:
No.
: And lastly, for now, who do I contact to register the proper
: "Credit where credit is do" information before using Kermit?
