This whole thread is one of the weirdest I have read in ages.
But it is similar to the sendmail debates started on occasion
by some newbies.
I for one have been fortunate to have access to kermit from the
early eighties, when there was no networking whatsoever happening in
Europe. And since the late nineties I have been very fortunate
to have access to kermit while working in rural Africa as a medical
practitioner.
Even now, while on post graduate study leave back in Germany
I keep a copy of kermit on all my machines, mainly linux by the
way.
It�s free, it�s faster than my neighbour�s dog and it works.
Enjoy it and be thankful for the work that People like Frank,
Jeffrey and Joe have been putting into it for more than 15 years.
