<p>
<a name="connex">Kermit 95 works <a href="k95uniform.html">uniformly</a>
over a variety of connection methods</a>:
<ul>
<li><b>SECURE INTERNET CONNECTIONS</b> via:<ul>
<li><a href="http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/"><b>MIT Kerberos</b></a>(TM) (Windows only)
<li><a href="http://srp.stanford.edu/srp/"><b>Stanford Secure Remote Password</b></a> (SRP(TM))

</blockquote>
<p>
Kermit 95 includes a <a href="k95dial.html">graphical Dialer</a> (menus,
buttons, dialog boxes, notebooks, and all) to configure and launch
all your connections without complicated initialization files, macro
definitions, or commands of any kind. The Kermit engine itself is
launched from the Dialer pushbutton-style to make each of your connections
automatically with all the appropriate settings.
<p>
In addition to the graphical Dialer,
Kermit 95 offers a console-mode command-line interface, similar to its cousins
on UNIX, VMS, and MS-DOS (more about this in the <a href="k95faq.html">
Kermit 95 FAQ</a>). The graphical Dialer, however, removes the need to
interact directly with the command prompt in most cases. Yet all the commands
are there in case you need them . . . or if you want to script them.
<p>
Kermit 95 is a multithreaded, 32-bit, protected-mode, preemptive
multitasking serial <i>and</i> network communication software application that
is fast, yet easy on your CPU. The Windows version is a fully native 32-bit
Windows program; the OS/2 version is a fully native 32-bit OS/2 program.
<p>
<b>Kermit 95 offers:</b>
<ul>
<li><a href="year2000.html">Year-2000</a> readiness.
<p>
<li><a href="euro.html">Euro</a> compatibility.
<p>
<li><a href="k95uniform.html">Uniform</a> operation over dialed, direct
serial, TAPI, TCP/IP Telnet and Rlogin (via any 32-bit TCP/IP stack),
LAT or TES connections to VMS, and other networking methods, provided you
have the necessary network drivers installed on your PC.
<p>
<li><a name="security"></a>
<a href="k95news.html#security">Secure Telnet Connections</a><br>
Using Kerberos IV, Kerberos V, SRP, or SSL/TLS
protocols for authentication and encryption when the host is equipped with
a compatible Telnet server. (Presently available in USA and Canada only
due to USA export laws; Kerberos not available for OS/2.) (<a
href="telnetd.html">CLICK HERE</a> for a survey of secure Telnet servers.)
K95 1.1.20 is compatible with all the latest Kerberos, SRP, and SSL/TLS
libraries and interfaces. Other export-restricted security features include:
<ul>
<li>Secure command-line FTP client - <b>New!</b>
<li>Telnet Forwarding of Authorized X Windows System Session Data
over Secure Connections - <b>New!</b>
</ul>
<p>
<li><a href="k95host.html">Host Mode</a><br>
Allows others to Telnet or dial directly to your PC,
log in, upload, download, and manage files, send and receive messages,
all in a secure environment, and (if permitted) execute DOS commands.
