- Is there any way to use MSDOS kermit as a transport for a full-machine
- backup? With the unix version you can pipe cpio or tar's output
- through a pair of kermits to either duplicate the files or store them
- on a remote device, but since MSDOS pipes use temporary files that
- isn't a practical way to copy the whole machine.
