According to our information at Kermit Distribution, there are only two
implementations of kermit which support sliding windows: Kermit for the
Prime and a version of Kermit written in Lattice C for the IBM PC.  In
other words, Kermit for the Amiga does not use sliding windows.

Most recent implementations of Kermit now have Long Packet support.  Of
course, this does not help you if you use  PC-Pursuit or satellites.
