ins_bjjb@jhunix.UUCP (09/02/87)
A few months ago, I noticed an Antic catalog which mentioned a Kermit
module for Flash. This would be great, if the implementation were
complete and accurate (ever try the Fido BBS's Kermit?).
Is the implementation complete and accurate? Also, has Columbia (?)
University ported Kermit to the ST yet?

There are at least two freeware or PD Kermit's available for the ST

in to UniTerm. GEM Kermit is available from Columbia, UniTerm from
various servers, or from myself.
