Okay - quick review.  I've had MS-Kermit 3.0 for about two months now,
and I love it.  *I* haven't found any bugs, but then of course I use it
pretty conservatively.  It works over most PC networks (NETBIOS, Novell,
etc, but NOT tcp/ip), or at least claims to in the docs.  So far as file
transfer goes, WHOOSH (well, it's not Zmodem or anything, but hey! for
Kermit, this is SPEED (large packets, 20 windows.  Speed test)).  The
vt320 emulation seems pretty good, but I've only used it with a huge IBM
mainframe, not anything standard and sane %->.  Scripting language works
the same way, so no need to learn new tricks.  Friends of mine report
similar positive experiences.  *****. (well, they LOOK like stars, okay?)
