Kermit-32 can still be used, but use it at your own risk. It is no longer
supported, and if there are problems with it -- functional problems or
performance problems -- there is nobody to fix it or improve it.
It does not go as fast as C-Kermit, it does not have as many features.
And C-Kermit, unlike Kermit-32, *is* supported. Thus we recommend people
use it instead of Kermit-32.
So... "a" solution is to use C-Kermit. Another would be to give some
special commands to MS-DOS Kermit and/or Kermit-32, but you do not
necessarily have to write a long script in order to accomplish this.
