It was thus said that the Great Douglas Quebbeman once
stated:
Dang! How can I live this down?
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.
Kermit was a life saver when I was at college; it could always get stuff
through when X/Y/ZModem wouldn't work at all. PROCOMM most
closely resembled Andrew's program, so that became my
standard terminal emulator under DOS, and later Windows.
I preferred Qmodem but later switched to Procomm because of the better
terminal emulation.
