I don't have it > here, don't even ask. if the source you're referring to is the WKERMIT implementation, it relies on the greenleaf comm library, and is very PC-specific. there's a windowing C-Kermit available on Sandy Zelkowitz's XBBS at (714)828-0288. i compiled it with no modifications on both a 4.3BSD Vax and a Pyramid 90x, and it works fine with my procomm 2.4.2. i made changes to _reduce_ the window size; the default 31 packets/window were causing my multiplexor to get indigestion. it turns out that _3_ packets per window, a la uucp, is enough for 25% thruput improvement at 1200bps, and 100%(!) at 9600. wayne hamilton U of Il and US Army Corps of Engineers CERL UUCP: {ihnp4,seismo,pur-ee,convex}!uiucuxc!hamilton ARPA: hamilton@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu USMail: Box 476, Urbana, IL 61801 CSNET: hamilton%uxc@uiuc.csnet Phone: (217)333-8703 CIS: [73047,544] PLink: w hamilton
