Kermit protocol is is a fast as Zmodem if both Kermit partners support
a fairly decent implementation of it. Most non-Kermit-Project Kermit
implementations do not. Of course a 4.77MHz CPU would also be a bottleneck
but that's true for Zmodem too.

:
MS-DOS Kermit blocks connections to port 25 to prevent mail spoofing.

: pose a problem when found at the end of the line; "dash" is one...
:
Dash at the end of a line means the line is continued.
