Kermit is like VAX/VMS, much maligned... When set up correctly it's very
fast, error correcting, etc. it's very flexible, and I'm sure the staff
can tell you more.
look up the story about kermit and the brazil election, it's interesting
reading. again, it's on the kermit site, do a search for it, i'm not
remembering too good today..
brain parity error, system halted...
