I have been using an Opus system (it is at v1.3) and it supports Kermit,
Z/XModem, Sealink, etc. And yes, indeed it is very Militently P/D !! Our
Opus board have the execs on it so anyone that has access can download a copy.
It can also talk Fido as we now have a link to a local Fido for newsfeed
(Echomail etc). The current system fits on 3 360k disks.
