	Actually Handshake is the nicest term
	out there  8^).

	It is a really excellent VT220 emulator.

	It supports Kermit just fine.

	Kermit has 2 forms - the default, small
	packets with no window, is pretty slow
	since it waits for verification that
	the last packet was OK b4 sending the
	next. Most Kermit clones don't implement
	the windowed version of the protocol as
	it is more complex to get right...

	Handshake is shareware - it's available
	from the author Eric Haberfellner,
	"eric@haberfellner.uucp"...
