an aside:
I downloaded the debian kermit 7 binary a gzip not a deb (I think), and
it behaves much better than the version 6.? that is included in non-free
with slink (current stable). Though I have had no problems with it, I
was initially suprised that the 7.0 did not read from the system wide
initialization file.
Thanks
