I'm looking for a telecom program that will run in a server mode like Kermit,
but run faster than Kermit.  I'm developing software for the CD-I player, which
is a 68000 machine running a variant of OS9.  The player doesn't have a
keyboard, I log into it via a serial port hooked up to a Mac which is running a
terminal program.

I have tried running STERM and ATERM, but both of them think I'm typing
straight into the OS9 system; they want me to start the remote system sending
before they can receive files (in XMODEM, say).  Once I start the Mac sending,
however, I have no way of telling the player to start receiving!  I have gotten
Kermit to run as a server (I set it up to receive on the player, then tell the
Mac to send) and that works OK, but it only runs at about 270 CPS!

Does anyone know of a) a faster Kermit for the player; b) preferably, some
terminal program which can run in "host" mode on a 68000 OS9 machine,
permitting me to tell it to start receiving, then permitting me to start
sending from my Mac *afterwards*?
