How's K95 doing? I think its doing very well.
In a time when Compaq wants $35.00 just to talk to you, Novell wants
$200 and priority tech support numbers often cost more than many
1-900-Hot-Love numbers ( don't ask, I just made it up, I don't call...
), Kermit support is an amazing change from the 'new' norm. I can send
an e-mail request and often receive a response within 15 minutes.
Compare this to my latest e-mail question for Netscape News Server that
took 1 month to get answered. Often the people you talk to at support
number know less than you, not so at Kermit. I have been impressed to
no end with their support and dedication to their product. If something
does not work, they fix it. Bugs tend to be passing events, not
everyday common occurrences.
Kermit is ultra configurable. Most of my users are public patrons that
have little/no computer experience. Our kermit script login them in and
configure the keyboard for 2 different proprietary applications. Kermit
also allows us to 'lock' our users into that one site. Kermit provides a
level of security not found in any other program I've seen. For us,
there is no other option.
I'm just personally impressed with this product and the design team. So
products I feel are a waste of money, this product is not. This is
money well spent.
