- I can't really help you out in your quest for something new, but don't
- be too harsh on Kermit. I expect that most of your performance problems
- have to do with the fact that your mainframe link is half-duplex
- (whether you are connected via NTO, Hydra, what-have-you). This means
- that sliding windows protocols can't work, whether it's Kermit's
- or somebody else's.
-
- I'm a satisfied user of John Chandler's TSO-Kermit. No, it's not a
- real barn-burner-performer, but it does get the job done.
