: Hi there. Two questions for Masters Of Kermit:

Yes.

You mean "Kermite". KERLITE.EXE doesn't have a terminal emulator -- that's
why it's so light :-)
: like IBM model 25's or even (gasp) the old dual-drive PC Portables.

KERMITE.EXE should work fine on them.
: 2) Will Kerlite (either the 3.15 version, or if one isn't planned, the

: earliest version of MS-DOS on which it will run?
:
It should run on the very first IBM PC off the production line, provided
you have upgraded its DOS version to at least 2.0. (Actually I can't swear
that it won't run under DOS 1.x, but we don't claim that it does.)
