Yes, and when Gunter tells you he is still using 'robust' on a null cable at
94 bytes you did not bother to inform him that 94 byte packets are nowhere
_near_ optimum for his setup????

The Linux Kermit gets set up by ~/.kermrc

I'm only one person and no one is willing to just take my word for it.
I seldom see this 94 byte packet mistake mentioned here or anywhere else even
when a user _tells_ you he is _still_ using 94 byte packets! How is this
"trying"?

I did ask for some members of the 'team' to become more pro-active and at
least drop an email to the _authors_ of BBS software informing them that it
is OK to go to 2500 bytes or so rather than the 94 bytes they believe is
mandatory for kermit. An email from the Columbia team might convince them. A
message from C.Angelich means ZIP. 8(
