  20. What many of these embedded applications require is a memory
  21. efficient implementation devoid of Unix-isms that gives
  22. excellent results with software the customer has already
  23. paid for (i.e., the Hyperterm that comes with Windows).
  24.  
  25. Industrial ZMODEM has been used with chips as primitive as
  26. the 8-bit 8051 family.  It does not need an operating
  27. system, just a small number of user supplied routines.
  28.  
  29. For undemanding applications, an "Industrial Kermit"
  30. could be developed, subject to the limitations of
  31. non-Columbia Kermit implementations as described in Kermit
  32. News.
