Yes it would. Back in the old days, when somebody wanted something like
this done, they would often do it themselves. That's how we got hundreds
and hundreds of Kermit programs. In fact, that's how we got MS-DOS Kermit
2.29 and later.

: Yes, it still does the business. Are any of the other Kermit versions
: still being developed? Or is C-Kermit now it ;(
:
C-Kermit is available for hundreds of different hardware/OS/version
combinations. Kermit 95 is available for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003
and OS/2. What were you looking for?
