A VI is a Virtual Instrument, a Labview program. Typically it has a
GUI front end on top of a "graphical" program, i.e. a diagram with
data-driven I/O, logic, etc. Labview is very popular in labs that need
to quickly develop data acquisition and instrument control software
for experiments.
And yes, I have written a rudimentary labview implementation of the
kermit protocol, pretty much lifted from your book, which works over
the serial port on a pc, mac or unix machine. Did it mostly to get a
feel for labview and to be able to talk to the odd instrument that
speaks Kermit.
