DCOM's PRODOS/KERMIT capability is almost finished.  I expect about 
another month or two before I'm ready to unleash it on the net.

I am taking votes on how keyboard macros should work.  I have seen very good
methods for automating login sequences and the like, but am open to
suggestions.

I realize, however, I mentioned some time ago that DCOM would get XMODEM
because KERMIT was just too complicated.  I am quite proud to eat my words.
The barebones KERMIT protocol fits in 1K of 6502 code.  Add ProDOS overhead
and user interface, and I project 3K.  What makes production KERMIT so
large seems to be the command line TOPS-like interpreter.  

Anyway, it's coming. "Real Soon Now"
