The situation is that it is at a minimum a bother, and a maximum impossible,
to work in a situation where you log in with your terminal emulator, make a
connection, jump out to prodos and start up your file transfer program, transfer
a few files via xmodem, jump out of that program, jump into kermit to transfer
a few binary files, jump out of that program, and jump back into your terminal
emulator.  Kermit 3.8? is a great addition, as it allows two of these steps to
be avoided if one has good kermit support on the host (cis doesnt have good
kermit support - many folks I have talked to have been unable to do kermit
transfers - I dont know about genie, delphi, etc.)
