We're using NCSA TELNET quite happily to connect to UNIX hosts. Recently
we acquired an Annex-II terminal server from Encore and some NCSA users
are now milking the server to connect to Hosts that do not support TCP/IP.

This type of connection is working fine as a straight terminal emulation
but the NCSA user has no means of transferring files to/from the host
other than capture mode.

Is anyone aware of an Ethernet access program for a PC that would
support async protocols such as Kermit or XMODEM so that we can
send/and receive from our out-of-date hosts? We'd prefer not to have to
place async connections into offices already served by Ethernet.

Thanks very much.
