C-Kermit 4f was never officially out of beta-test, but is available
from watsun.cc.columbia.edu in the kermit/test directory and includes
osk support.  Long packets is one of the features new to 4f.  It's the
version I would recomend to anyone wanting kermit for osk.  (I'm not
unbiased, one of the other versions available was not done by me :-)

5a is still in alpha test, and none of the started ports to osk have
been completed and sent to columbia.  (At least 3 separate starts were
made.)  Sliding windows is one of the features new to 5a.

	Hiding differences does not make them go away.
	Accepting differences makes them unimportant.
