>I, for one, use KERMIT.

I, for two, do too.  :-)  For most of the same reasons also - but Kermit
has the one additional feature of being able to re-define virtually any
of the machine's keys.  That means that you can set up your function
(arrow, etc.) keys to do whatever it is that you want them to do on
whatever machines that you use.  I find that feature to be very useful.

The only thing (that I can see) that Kermit lacks which BesTerm has is
Xmodem file xfers.

The latest Kermit-MS is available for anonymous ftp from
CU20B.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU.  Filenames are:
ker:mstibm.boo    (pc - gag!)
ker:mstz10.boo    (z100)
