I'm sitting here right now with my home machine connected to the
Internet via a PPP link to my ISP using the Telnet feature of Kermit
to do shell stuff (elm, trn, ftp, etc) on my ISP.
This is _extremely_ useful, as I can fire up a WWWebBrowser over the
same PPP link if I see an interesting url, without losing access to my
shell tools. I no longer remember how I did without K95!

Most of my K95 use is telnet! I've tried a couple of other telnets at
work, but they worked so poorly (and emulated a VT100 barely if at
all) that I bought VT510 terminals and scattered them about the lab.
I suspect that I'll be buying a dozen copies of K95 when we get the
lab PCs upgraded to Win95.
If you had a Telnet that emulated a VT100 as well as K95, did telnet,
file transfer, and serial communications and serial connection debug
as well as K95 for the same price with the same friendly problem
resolution and developer access I'd _still_ buy K95!
