I was never a big Kermit fan. It came at the very end of the days
when it would have been of most use to me (76-81). As a nearly
charter member of Ward & Randy's BBS, I adopted Ward Christiansen's
XMODEM protocol, and used MODEM/MODEM86 during those years.
First time I saw it was a copy that came with an 8051 protoboard in '87
and it gave me fits, being generally much less capable than a clone
of Andrew Flugelman's terminal emulator/transfer program (forgot the
name).
PROCOMM most closely resembled Andrew's program, so that became my
standard terminal emulator under DOS, and later Windows.

For the paper tapes, once read in, you can just use Hyperterm's
file transfer... oops, NIX that, I see ASCII mode is not among
Hyperterm's file transfer options... Hmmm, you may need to use
something like PROCOMM PLUS or ProcommPlus/Win... they still
have the ASCII transfer mode. Or just run DOS and use COPY, I did
that with a PC and a friend's CNC machine a few years back, worked
quite well.
Nobody on this list likes KERMIT anymore ?
Just wondering.
