Nevertheless, you are losing business because of your attitude in
this group. Your constant snippy remarks have alienated me from
using and recommending your products. This is unfortunate because
you may very well have a superior gadget, but I have a bad taste
in my mouth about your way of dealing with the competition. Mind
you, I don't feel that kermit is the best protocol/term emulator
out there, it has strengths and limitations that I recognize and
use kermit where it is better suited than anything else and other
products if it is not. Chuck, understand that Omen Technologies
products are not on the short list I present to my customers.
Lighten up your attitude and that will change.
The reports from both sides have been published, both are known to
the free world. Leave this _kermit_ group alone, Chuck. I read it
for _kermit_ information, not _zmodem_. Create a _zmodem_ group
and carry on your quest for justice (and sales) there. If you want
to post *relevant* (I don't consider constant chatter about the perf
benchmarks to be relevant any longer - relative to the industry they
are both too old to be of any use) technical information in this
_kermit_ group, go ahead but get the kermit bashing away from here.
