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?
Well, I recently resurrected an old ND-Satellite/9 minicomputer from
Norsk Data. The machine doesn't have any network interfaces, except
for terminal (serial) ports. However, it did have kermit on one of the
8 inch floppies that I got with the machine.
I still use kermit to transfer files to and from that machine.
Very handy.
