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) Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Kenneth R. van Wyk = = = User Services Senior Consultant = This page intentionally = = Lehigh University Computing Center = left blank. = = Internet: = = = BITNET: = = ------------------------------------------------------------------------
