You're talking kermit products from Columbia U. there definitely.

Not with satellite links. But automated x-fer with verify and restart
on failures? Yep, c-kermit does it over dial-up - LAN - WAN, Kermit/2
does it over dial-up - LAN - WAN, Kermit-95 does it over dial-up -
LAN - WAN ... see where this is going? Powerful scripting language
for you to "roll yer own" scripts. Fantastic terminal emulation (in
the Kermit/2 and Kermit-95 prods).
It's a "don't leave the office without it" tech tool for us as well.
A *temporary* install on a client system with a script to download
updated files off our server over the internet usually has them
asking, "Where can I get a copy of that?", once they realize it's
being deleted when we are done. We found that was easier and less
expensive than burning a new CD-R every time a client needed a
program update (if they're local). For distant clients we get them to
buy a copy of c-kermit, Kermit/2|Kermit-95 and provide them with a
script that allows them to auto-update custom software when they
require changes and the changes are ready on our end.
What else do you need to know before shelling out a measly $64 a
copy? Or less than $64 if you buy in bulk.

Your biggest investment will be the time in writing and debugging
whatever scripts you create. As long as they keep up to date versions
for OS/2 I'll be happy (hear that Jeffrey? ;-).
