Of Course MSDOS Kermit is available for free download from the same site...
Just back off the name a bit.

And while you're there, you might check to see if your unix version is the
latest. There are binaries on line for most Unix systems.

The Kermit implementation used to stink, but now it's okay, but bloatware
is certainly an apt description.
I am forced to use PCPlus for Win95 to keep AirTouch Paging happy. They
won't accept pager activations from Kermit-95.
Even though I _tried_ to do a custom install, only installing the terminal
stuff, it still installed the PCPlus browser as my default web browser so I
could view online help files.
The only good thing about PCPlus is the ftp transfer, which is a nice
Explorer-like GUI display of both systems directories.
