:
We have a version of Kermit for DOS.
We have a version of Kermit for Windows 95 and NT.
We have a version of Kermit for OS/2.
Pick the one that is most appropriate for your platform, period.
Please understand that the Kermit Project consists of a tiny handful of
people trying to supply, please, help, support, and take care of literally
millions of people. We do our best with the number of bodies we have and
the number of hours in a day. The only way we can serve you better than we
do now is to make enough money to hire more people.
