Is anyone aware of a Mac comm package (commercial or otherwise) that supports Kermit's long-packets? -- Mick Laver, C-010 Internet: laver@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu UCSD Academic Computing Center UUCP: ...!sdcsvax!sdcc3!zz1ml La Jolla, CA.92093 BITNET: laver@ucsd.BITNET

I found about a factor of 2 increase in throughput using 1024 byte packets with long packet Kermit at 9600 baud. David Gelphman

There are a number of MacKermit versions that do long packets. The problem is that all the work has been done be different people. I believe that the different versions are being merged together and will be released soon. It has also been ported to MPW C and LightspeedC. There will be a formal announcement as soon as it is ready.

This is not strictly related to the Mac, but does anyone know what the most recent version of C-Kermit is? Since Versaterm supports long packets, it's a shame our version of C-Kermit (4C(058) 19 Mar 86, 4.2 BSD) doesn't. -- Steve Baumgarten Davis Polk & Wardwell UUCP: ...!seismo!cmcl2!esquire!sbb "New York... when civilization falls apart, remember, we were way ahead of you." - David Letterman
