Hi,

I have recently been testing C-Kermit version 5a on the NeXT.  It is
incredible.  It has the following features:

	- script support: allows for input/output commands like
	  PC-Kermit version 3.0 (no longer uucp style)
	- extended packet support (packet sizes of up to 2000)
	- sliding windows
	- use of wildcards to allow for multiple file transfers
	- set host command (allows you to use kermit to log onto other
	  systems while kermit rides on top of telnet)
	- the list goes on...

It can be obtained via anonymous ftp from watsun.cc.columbia.edu

One other note: This version of Kermit has not been officially released
and is therefore not supported.
