[net.wanted] What are KERMIT and UMODEM anyway?

msk@mtplx1.UUCP (09/19/83)

Hello, net.world.

We have just started reading the USENET.  We have seen some discussion on
KERMIT (in various flavors to  communicate  between  UNIX  and  IBM  PCs)
and UMODEM.

I would like to request information on  these  two  products.   Any  info
about availability, price, machines that they will run on, and any  other
general information is desired.

Now a more general question (but perhaps answered by the above products):

Does anyone have  a  good  system  for  communication  between  UNIX  and
DEC Rainbows?  How about UNIX and  other  PCs  (personal  computers,  not
necessarily IBM)?

Well thank you for reading this.  It seems to me that long  time  netters
may already know all this info but new netters may derive some benefit.

PLEASE MAIL ME RESPONSES SO AS NOT TO CLUTTER UP THE NEWS GROUPS!

Thanks in advance!!!
