Sometimes it is chicken-and-egg. I recently found myself in a situation
where there was no "comm" available, due to a failed Y2K patch.
I could have used any one of many different protocols, but none were
installed, in December of 1999, in Manhattan. I wanted a "BOO" file.
After visiting the site with a diskette that had kermit on it, away I went.
Jefferey Altman mentioned that he had been in the neighborhood, and would
have been glad to drop off a copy, on the media of my choice.
Support! ;-)
I've been in several "spots" where I had a whole pile of protocols on one
end of a wire, and none on the other.
I'm quite pleased to see G-Kermit listed on the http://www.gnu.org page,
and I assume, associated with various GNU-using Linux varieties.
But that's a different topic, for a different platform.
