Hi,
I have been using Kermit on and off for the
last 20 years (?) soon after the Byte
magazine article appeared.
I noticed that Jeff's name appeared now and then
on the newsgroup for the last several years when
I reported bugs in a rarely used features of
kermit. (Or I should say, the feature/bug
triggred by a rarely used combination of kermit
and hardware/OS.).

I surely hope so.
Thank you for your contribution so far.
I didn't quite realize that the kermit support is
a volunteer(!?) part of your job until I read Frank's post
and yours today.

Great contribution and you will be missed.
Now I would say to the readers, it is your turn
to send in patches (and feature enhancement) if
you use C-kermit...
Sometimes it is quite educational to read through
Kermit source.
how kermit handles system-depencies and
the tips for handling communiation ioctl() in
various OSes may be indispensable. (To me, it was,
and I reported a problem or two before in
these very system-dependent codes. The problems were
caused, I think due to system library changes).
Again, I wish a good luck in your next career, Jeff.
