A "hexified" version (one that can be downloaded in character mode and EXEC'd) of Kermit 3.78 (including a driver for the IIgs smartport) is available from LISTSERV@BROWNVM.bitnet. I've posted messages detailing how to get the files twice in the last week (neither of which has been sent back to me on bitnet, but sometimes it takes a week or more for comp.sys.apple postings to wander across the gateway and cascade along bitmail distribution). The short answer is: send email to LISTSERV@BROWNVM.bitnet with a one line message: SENDME NOTEBOOK FILELIST That command should return an annotated list of available files. The ones you want are filed under APPLE2-L 87-nnnnn (where nnnnn is a file number. You'll have to send a series of messages to get the Kermit files. Each should have a body of 1 line in the form: SENDME APPLE2-L 87-nnnnn For instance, if I remember accurately, SENDME APPLE2-L 87-00028 should retrieve a memo with instructions for installing Kermit 3.78 (which works under EITHER DOS 3.3 OR ProDOS and does a VT-100 <more or less> emulation). You also may find sending the following worthwhile: SUBSCRIBE APPLE2-L your_first_name your_last_name --------------------- ARPA: sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu Murphy A.

Is there anyway to get a copy of the new kermit?? I think its version 3.78. Please reply to me directly thru E-mail. I'm sure the others have seen enough of these messages. Joe Craparotta Tipple::Craparotta

The Kermit 3.78 files (including a driver for the IIgs smartport)
were posted to APPLE2-L awhile back. I don't have a IIgs, but as
far as I know the driver works (I believe several contributors to
info-apple actually use it).
You can get the files from the LISTSERV@BROWNVM by using the SEND
command (I don't use a VAX either, so I'm not a good source for
the syntax of the send command). You want to send an immediate
message (CMD) to LISTSERV@BROWNVM that says:
GET NOTEBOOK FILELIST
That'll get you a listing of the files available from that server.
Look for the files that are APPLE2-L 87-nnnnn for the ones labeled
Kermit 3.78 (there are 6 or seven of them including drivers for
Super Serial Cards, Microtek 622C, and Apple Com Card, plus documenation
and installation instructions). You can get the ones you need with:
GET APPLE2-L 87-nnnnn (where nnnnn is the number of the file, as in
APPLE2-L 87-00024)
If your system doesn't permit the use of the SEND command to the network,
you can put the GET commands in email and send it to LISTSERV@BROWNVM
(NOTE!!! DO NOT send GET requests to APPLE2-L as messages addressed to
the list simply get posted as files and you won't get anything back)
