I have tried many times to get the new Kermit from cu20b, and have
experienced similar problems (i.e. truncated files). So far as I can
figure out, either cu20b or the connection between there and here is
completely brain-dead - the data rate is real, real slow.
Could some kind soul please post the new (works on MacII) Kermit to sumex? 
The archive hasn't seen anything since 0.8(34).
