Our company has been including C-Kermit with our UNIX based
telecom equipment for many years. The ability Kermit gives us
to update systems in the field over a modem connection is one of
the elements to good customer support.
Earlier this year we had an incident where an engineer inadvertantly
left up overnight a dialup connection from a system in our Connecticut
facility to a system in Texas. What we needed was an inactivity
timeout to disconnect idle sessions.
So we contacted kermit-support. We were told that this function existed
in Kermit-95, but not C-kermit, and did we want them to implement it?
Shortly thereafter, this feature was added to the C-Kermit 8.0 beta.
Our engineer is now happy again.
This kind of support is why we will continue to license C-Kermit for
our systems.
I would like to thank Frank da Cruz and Jeffrey Altman for the outstanding
support we have received from the Kermit Project. I would also like to
thank them for the opportunity to participate in beta testing C-Kermit and
Kermit-95.
