Zmodem is needed for two reasons. 1) Many BBS have crippled 'clones' of
the kermit protocol hard coded to 94 bytes per packet. As per your own
website for Columbia Kermit the 'team' deciding to use 94 bytes as the
default install for many years has given many the impression that kermit
is _supposed_ to use 94 byte packets. The 'WORD' is not getting out to
authors of BBS software. 2) Many BBS simply do not have a kermit transfer
and the owners are not knowledgeable enough to implement the C-Kermit config
files for an external kermit transfer (I know, I've tried and they just can't
do it). 8(
If MSKermit would allow access to it's TCP/IP stack via the 'int 14h' fossil
interface then zmodem could be added to MSKermit as an external protocol. 8)

What is "mail spoofing"?
