--------
HP calculators are popular. Some have Kermit protocol within, and
it is used by happy customers. We like happy customers. We also provide
plenty of knobs for folks to spiff up their file transfers as they wish;
we do not do that for them, there being far too many "thems" and personal
settings of knobs. Flexibility implies making choices, and some folks are
bothered by that process.
