B.4. Kermit
Kermit
is a terminal emulator and file transfer program delevoped by
Columbia University.
It's popularity springs from the large range of computers that
Kermit could be used to access, from
IBM mainframes to
MS-DOS
PCs.
A Kermit variant named G-Kermit
was released under the GNU Public License.
This is available in most Linux
distributions.
The recent Kermit and
Zmodem protocols are built upon the same
technologies. Zmodem has better
performance in calls with high error rates.
Kermit has been ported to more host
platforms.
