[Aren't you hungry...?]

	Some versions of kermit (e.g. the VAX version under VMS) provide
facilities for running in server mode.  What you do is log in to the vax,
fire up kermit, tell it to play server, then go back to your machine and do
get and send (or take/put??) in any case, the server goes away and logs you
out when it is done.  This is an optional feature not available on all
Kermits, notably absent on UNIX kermit.  

Unfortunately, the VAX implementation is in Bliss or Macro, so porting it
is non trivial....

Anyone out there have a Bliss to C converter???
