Yes!  YES!  YES!!!  I've tried WinQVT, Unicom and Terminal, and found them all
lacking.  I'm typing this using winkermit, and it's working nicely.  If there
will be source available, I will be *REALLY* happy (I'll vbe able to add the
minor features that *I* find handy...)

Well, here is a report -- where is info-kermit, where I'm supposed to send it?
It's quite nice for a beta version, no problems running with Windows 3.0.  I've
noticed that underlining and boldface a *really* slow, though...

I think I'm sold!  :)
