Does anyone in any real sense use Kermit these days? Even back during my bbs days Kermit
was a rarely supported and/or slow protocol that wasn't exactly a first choice.
Wasn't it designed for slower packet switched networks the likes of telenet and
tymnet?

All good things...
Not only that, but lets be honest. The versions of Kermit that we use haven't been
maintained for ten years or more already. They stopped maintaining the stuff for the Apple
II, CP/M, DEC PDP-11, etc a long time ago.
Just because they're not making new versions for new OS's doesn't mean that
we still won't use it. This stuff has been more than stable for over a decade now.
