These packages have a server (slave) function and a host (master) function. All of this is available on at least a couple different types of media, MAG-TAPE, FLOPPY, ect... for $100.00, this is basically the media and transfer fees only... You can get a hold of this stuff by calling or writing to: Kermit Distribution Columbia University Center of Computing Activities 612 West 115th Street New York, New York 10025 (212) 280-1754 If all else fails, send me mail and I will try to get the stuff to you...
