lito@psuecl.bitnet (02/22/90)

hi,

can someone point me to a pd version of kermit/or any term emulation prog
which supports the kermit server command on a host.

i transfer lots of data files at 2400 baud and would like to
be able to tell my mac:

just like my misguided pc.

	Although I am not sure, I would ASSUME that the latest version of 
MacKermit .9(??) from Columbia University will allow you to do this.  
	If you would like a full featured communications program which offers
this capability then you might investigate MicroPhone II (2.0 or 3.0) which is
the only other comm program for the Macintosh that offer Kermit Server options
including the use of wildcards. Also with MicroPhone II's scripting language
you can even automate your data transfers at any time of time and in the back-
ground under MultiFinder.

Versaterm also supports Kermit server mode.  The latest version also
fully supports VT220s, including downloadable character sets and
function key codes, as well as double-high, double-wide characters.

It even has a popup function key keypad that's useful for those of us
without an extended keyboard.

And it's still under $100.

(Standard disclaimer:  I just love using Versaterm, nothing more.)
