On reflection I'm inclined to agree that Whizz60 has a slightly broken
Kermit since I can use the one on our ICL Unix machine.
With regard to the problem with getting Kermit 95, is it possible to get
an evaluation copy? Then at least I could ensure it really did solve
the problem (and that the terminal emulations were satisfactory) before
parting with my readies - or my employers readies!
