I haven't found it!) I have several modems (4) all communicating at speeds of 9.6/19.2k and I can grab any modem from the pool, dial out and initiate a Zmodem transfer and get throughtput just as good as if I were calling out from a single user PC under DOS. With the HST modem, 1707 cps on archived transfers is the norm. Hardware? 25mhz '386 with smart serial board (10 mhz 80186). OS is ISC 2.02 System V. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA uucp: larry@nstar -or- ...!iuvax!ndmath!nstar!larry "Don't waste your time with QNX!"

Yes, this is true. The new version has lots of new stuff, including
international char set handling (both screen and transfer), and the
windowing protocol enhancement (which makes Kermit better than X and
Y-MODEM, and Real Close to Zmodem in performance (roughly 95%
efficiency for text, slightly less (low 90s) for compressed data).
As a fellow Kermit developer, I ask you all to do Joe a big favor: If
you do get a copy of _beta_ MK 3.0, PLEASE do NOT pass it along to
your friends who can't FTP the release version when it comes out
(which will be quite soon), and PLEASE do yourself get the release
version when it comes out (and make sure all beta copies that got
around are updated).
You really wouldn't believe how many letters I get reporting bugs in a
_beta_ version of MacKermit that was superceded a YEAR ago (in this
case, 0.97 -- if you have it, throw it away and get 0.98).

I would. I had a bug report from a beta test site of my BBS software last night. Sounded like something I'd fixed a while ago. "What version are you running?" "5.08" "Argh! Why aren't you using 5.10S????" "I found a couple of bugs in it and went back to the old version"... ============================================================================== Charlie "The Bear" Lear Snail: Box 12-175, Wellington, New Zealand The Cave BBS: 64(4)643429 24hrs V21/23/22/22bis Free Access 157MB online!
