MSKermit didn't play well with the IP stack of the modern Windows, and it
didn't like most winmodems, but on a serial link or even a proper modem,
MSKermit 3.16 works fine on Win98.
Around that time, I supported a lot of computers running MSKermit under Win
3.11, and a few under Win95. The ones that needed TCP/IP were upgraded to
MSKermit95, but that was a high enough cost item that only a couple were
upgraded.
For an individual, I think an upgrade to Kermit95 is well worthwhile.
My problem currently is ppor scrolling amongst the dialer entries, and
trying to keep the names of machines straight ;-)
