Well, Symbol Technologies (www.symbol.com) only have this version of Kermit,
or a program which they themselves developed, called TDREM (which is not
supported under WinNT). I'll tell them to wake up and update their Kermit
clone. Regarding my other problem, versions supported under Win95/98/NT: You
being an expert on the matter, do you know of any newer version (than 3.14)
which can be run under Win95/98/NT?
