     True.  I forgot about that.  I first used Kermit for some mainframe
     work back in 1984 or so.  That does make sense now that I
     think of it.

     I use HSlink here.  I BELEIVE it support the kermit..X/Y/Z formats
     depending the protocol and connection.  I could be wrong. I've
     not set it up in like 8-9 years :)  It also has a nice graphical
     interface so you see a light bar moving rather than some #s.
     I can sit across the room and know when a user is done downloading
     BW or files by a glance at the screen.  Otherwise I'd have to
     get up and creep closer to check.  IT also has a GAME in it :)
