Heck, with either Procomm 2.4.2 or Procomm Plus, when I download 
binary files from our usenet vax node to my pc, the packets are often
45-60 bytes only!  They are 90 bytes on upload.  I like the versa-
tility of a general comm package with multiple protocols.  But I 
wonder if any implement Kermit better than Procomm.
