Anybody > out there know of any work done in this direction ? > Most implementations of KERMIT for mainframe as well as other publicly available systems, have server capabilities. The MS-KERMIT (MS-DOS version) also includes these capabilities. They are quite trivial to add if you have a grasp of the KERMIT protocol in general. We receive the mailing list, INFO-KERMIT, which is moderated by Frank De Cruize (sp?) from Columbia University. The address is INFO-KERMIT@COLUMBIA-20. All of the major and some minor improvements to various implementations are discussed here. Frank also tries to answer various questions from the public about KERMIT.

The > address is INFO-KERMIT@COLUMBIA-20. I believe there was a mistake made. To my knowlege, the address to use for requests to be included on the Kermit mailing list is: Info-Kermit-Request@CU20B The address for messages to the Digest is: Info-Kermit@CU20B They moved from Columbia-20 last fall.

> Most implementations of KERMIT for mainframe as well as other > publicly available systems, have server capabilities. We have a semantic problem here. The "server" mode of Kermit is not the same as a FILE server; a file server should look like an attached mass storage device to the local system. The Kermit "server" is a communications server, a different kind of thing altogether. Tony Movshon (using a friend's account) uucp: {seismo|ihnp4|allegra}!cmcl2!hipl!tony arpa: hipl!tony@nyu-cmcl2
