A short while ago I posted a request for a Kermit file transfer tool for
the Communications ToolBox. I received the following reply from Geoff
Pascoe at Apple's Advanced Technology Group. He asked me to post this to
the net for him.

(Text from article describing ZModem and Kermit File Transfer Protocol CTB Tools Deleted--ZModem or Kermit = $55, both together = $85) Will this be the price that end users are going to be paying for these CTB tools? If this is the trend, a full-featured CTB telecomm program will be darn expensive..... (Please correct me if I am wrong) T.A.Amberg Michigan Technological University

This should settle into a groups of entities writing tools and selling them to those who sell you your software. This way, the large upfront purchase will lower the end cost of these tools to you. Unfortunately, for some time, what you want will prove somewhat expensive. Also, the reduced development effort should allow vendors to sell cheaper telecommunications programs, or spend the traditional development time for XMODEM and ZMODEM etc in other enhancements that you might otherwise not see. In theory, money-wise, it should be a wash, and there should be much more flexibility and variety in communications. Lets hope it works out this way! tim. ------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Endres | time@ice.com ICE Engineering | uupsi!ice.com!time 8840 Main Street | Whitmore Lake MI. 48189 | (313) 449 8288
