You've come to the right place.
Ftp to kermit.columbia.edu for all Columbia Kermits. The release
level MSK is v3.13 and it's in both kermit/bin (binary archive msvibm.zip)
and the full sources + docs in kermit/a. Beta-15 of MSK v3.14 (pretty solid
and almost ready for release) is in kermit/test/bin, archive file mstibm.zip.
MS-DOS Kermit does it all, and usually a good deal better than the
non-Columbia editions. Long packets? Of course, 9KB, and up to 32 window
slots of them if you have the memory (though that's really gross overkill).
Sliding Windows? Definitely, 32 slots, not a mere 2 or 4. Unprefix control
codes IF your link tolerates it and you are willing to risk it? You bet.
Time to go raid&plunder.
