Whazamatter with using BesTerm?  I've found it to be the friendliest
modem program in existence.  There are a couple of things I'd change
if I had the time (now that the sources are public), but the incentive
is so low that I'll never get to it.  If I had that kind of time, I'd
use it to flail the source into a generic-pc-clone version so I could
use it at work on my AT.  I find kermit itself to be a bit of a pain,
although I'm sure grateful that someone did it and set the standard.
Now that modems and phone communication are more robust than the old
days, maybe the larger-packet-option will catch on well enough that
versions will become available for all the machines I use.  That
will cut down the overhead a lot (which is enormous in present-day
kermit).  If anybody out there HAS created a pc version of BesTerm,
I'd love to have a copy.
