Some digging around at the Kermit site reveals that getting Kermit 95 in
the UK is fairly expensive. It didn't help much with any UK place to
get it. Does anyone have info not on the Kermit site?
PS I suspect your answer is correct as kermit transfer from the ICL Unix
box works fine - but very slow as it has a 2800 modem!
