It's all correct. :-) >Disadvantages: Supports only KERMIT and RAW ASCII file transfers. > Lots and lots of parameters to set. Kermit doesn't really support raw ASCII transfers--it has no buffer send or receive or stream from/to disk. However, it has special file types which can be used when talking to another Kermit programs: you can transfer standard ASCII, PETSCII, C-Power (Power C), Speedscript, and binary files, and perform all necessary conversions automatically. >Advantages: Public Domain > Very Flexible (Can be made to talk to almost anything). I would add here that its VT-100 emulation is pretty darn bullet-proof, and that it has a VT-52 mode and also some VT-102 support. Not to mention limited Tek 4010/4014 graphics terminal emulation... >Bottom Line: I like it, your mileage may very. > >Good Luck. -- Bruce Kent Sullivan
