I wasn't even thinking about Kermit over serial i/o since Java is
designed for communications via TCP/IP. Kermit is not just for
transfering files over serial devices. Kermit is used to transfer
files over transport medium or combination thereof. It is particularly
good in a TCP/IP environment as a means of providing file transfers
when more than one firewall exists in the communication path or when
TCP/IP is used in conjunction with another transport medium such as
serial i/o, X.25, LU6.2, or LAT.
