So let us assume you were on a bbs and initiated a kermit transfer. Which
would be the remote then?

OK, sounds fine. I can see how that would make much since, but then the user
can not cancel unless sitting at the hostterminal, right???

Ok, how do you insure that the control-c's will work like c-kermit (remote
mode)?

Let us assume I was on a BBS and initiaed a download of a file using kermit
(all running msdos kermit, not ckermit). I just relized that I have the file
already and do not need to download the file. Now, how do I cancel the
sending end without loading kermit since kerlite is being used?
Sorry if this is not clear, just trying to understand so I can communicate
this to another person.
