	Greetings. If you are running UNIX, I have something better
	for you. I use a program called "sz". It was written by
	Chuck Forsberg of Omen Technology INC. I have version 2.10
	(5-9-88) for V7/BSD. As for the PC side, any number of
	programs such as Telix (great!), ProComm, etc will do.
	Compared with Kermit, it's warp 6!

	By the way, anyone know if Mr. Forsberg in on the net?
	And, perhaps, if the sources are availiable so that the program
	may be compiled on other machines?

	Take care.

	P.S. "(don't quote me on that!)" also applies :-)
