Hey Nancy!

Exactly.

Yep.  Used that to dump data from proton precession magnetometers wired via
a null serial modem cable to a 286's 5.25" floppy drive in a former
life.  I have looked at kermit since then but not for the same reason and
not yet wrt a pure 64 bit Linux.  Probably should.  Might even be the
answer to Janis' BBS since I think I saw somewhere it could handle kermit.
If it works then that would be too easy.  ;-)

Where's the fun in that?

Maybe.  Given that you made it past the Y2K issue with that stuff then who
knows what else it might see before you, or I for that matter, officially
resign.

Life is good,
Maurice
