Nah, G-Kermit is a stripped down version for automated File Transfer only. I
perused the Online Info but didn't save it as I wouldn't use it anyway. I am
testing C-Kermit 8.0.209 (March 2003) under Mandrake Linux as it does so much
and I needed a reliable Telnet client. It even has a Daemon mode (IKSD) that
provides a Telnet + Kermit SERVER under Linux. Haven't tried that yet. :)

 MS: >      Yes, if i'm not mistaking `K95' happens to have ~FTP~ integrated

Yes, though K95 is the only one that isn't free. :( Limited Demo only.

 MS: >      Really?!  then you're quite familiar (or have been) with

Actually, my BBS software only allowed Text mode transfers as it was mainly
for messaging, not files.

 MS: > Would you happen to be using `WC-4'?

Yes! I have it configured so I can bring it up (standalone, no Fido, for
testing) under native MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 98SE DOS box and/or Linux DOSEmu
just by executing different procs/scripts. Once the BBS is up (WC 4.20SL) it
works exactly the same under all platforms and works quite well IMHO. I only
have it automated with FIDOnet under DOS though. Linux is next (Windows is too
glitchy, euh is right).

 MS: > but even if you did, it's not garanteed to be ~TelNet~ too.

I think someone has done that, but I'm only Dial-up so I won't be. :)

Dunno, I'm just starting to really learn Kermit under Linux on the weekend. I
used to use it (much older version) to transfer files between an IBM mainframe
running VM/SP (CP+CMS) to an IBM PC, but everything was scripted. Post the INI
or Netmail it and I'll look it over at least.
