I'd be glad to give it a shot if I had VxWorks developer tools to
build the kermit function and VxWorks itself to test it, but I
have neither. Would someone who does have them like to try adapting
G-Kermit to VxWorks? There's clearly a demand, at least among those
who don't mind devoting somewhere between 30 and 80K, depending on
the architecture, to a file-transfer function, and it doesn't sound
like too much work.
