- Indeed! However...with ramdisk...is probably going to be the easiest..
- there is no way this thing is going to work without extra memory! maybe if
- phillip price did the codeing...but.
-
- I would like that C source if you would and any others for other protocols(ju
- st happened to get a legal copy of Lightspeed C!) In addtion...source for ansii
- nformation.Maybe I should conntact the author of Ansi Term..but..
- I have never ever gotten those program versions to run on my setup.

- Also
- KERMIT-CMS 4.2.3 can go to packet lengths of 2039 bytes.
