I beleive that Kenneth is referring to the vanilla versions of kermit
supported by Columbia University.  For sliding windows to be supported
on the Amiga by Columbia, the C-Kermit protocol modules would have to be
re-worked.  Any volunteers :-).  Maybe it is already in the works??
Then all C-Kermit based implementations would have sliding windows.
