- Actually, the versions of kermit I have do support 9K packet sizes. We have
- C-Kermit 5A(170), if that helps, which runs on our Sun SPARCs. The latest
- version of Kermit for the Mac, I think, supports the larger packet sizes
- also.
-
- I've tested this and the larger packet sizes do save quite a bit of time.
