Unfortunately the ISP that was running BSDI on it's shell account server
has
switched from BSDI to FreeBSD so I can't verify that the timestamp
problem
is fixed for me in BSDI, but I can verify that the same problem with the
exact
same symptoms existed in the FreeBSD 3.0 Kermits through beta 10 and is
fixed
in cku196b11.freebsd3c-i386-3.3.
Although I am no longer involved in software support professionally, I
was
for many years both a provider of support to a college computer center
and a recipient of support from vendors and I've never seen better
support
of a product over the long haul than that provided by the Kermit
project,
and this for a product that in most versions is provided free of charge.
You folks do an amazing job. Thanks.
