  22. Obviously we recommend Kermit 95 for Windows 9x/NT.  Kermit implementations
  23. in third-party software like Hyperterminal are unknown to us, whereas we
  24. wrote Kermit 95 ourselves and can support it.

  26. As a general rule, however, third-party Kermit implementations are minimal,
  27. perfunctory, slow, and sometimes buggy, occasionally even totally
  28. nonfunctional.
