Kermit does have very powerful scripting and built-in functions so that
it is possible to easily build a script to decode captured input.
My first major Kermit script was a state machine for doing electronic
tax lodgements (in 1989). It turned out to be surprisingly easy.
In short, if you know the format of the data you are logging over a
serial link, Kermit scripts can decode it.
Regards,
Arthur.
