I read the announcement a few weeks ago and felt rather nostalgic. I used to run MS-DOS Kermit at home so that I could connect, via modem, to a UNIX machine. File transfers were accomplished by running C-Kermit on the UNIX host. The last time I used Kermit was about 5 years ago; in that case it was C-Kermit on one of my Linux systems to access the serial port of a router that I had just bought to run my ADSL connection. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
