I recently downloaded and compiled the test version of C-kermit version
5A, it appears to run fine on our 68010 box running Uniplus+ Unix
version 5.2.xxx.  It does have sliding windows, this was the main thing
I was after.  Just at the first try I got 220cps on a 2400/V22bis modem
connection which is quite a bit better than I ever managed with version
4E.
