This is a limitation of the kermit protocol.  CP/M systems have filenames
and extensions.  An extension of the kermit protocol allows filenames greater
than 8 characters and extensions greater than three, but a.b.c is still too
complicated.  Also null filenames are not provided; if you try to transmit
your .login it will be called something like "x.login".
