What many of these embedded applications require is a memory
efficient implementation devoid of Unix-isms that gives
excellent results with software the customer has already
paid for (i.e., the Hyperterm that comes with Windows).
Industrial ZMODEM has been used with chips as primitive as
the 8-bit 8051 family. It does not need an operating
system, just a small number of user supplied routines.
For undemanding applications, an "Industrial Kermit"
could be developed, subject to the limitations of
non-Columbia Kermit implementations as described in Kermit
News.
