I've begun to experiemnt with Telix 3.11 (telix.exe of 10.30.88).  It is
clearly of lovely piece of programming.

From past messages it is obvious that someone communicates with the
author, and I'd like to pass along some Kermit-related suggestions.

1. Running under a Kermit server would be desirable.  While one can
certainly give the host send and receive commands, having to do so puts
Telix at a disadvantage to other comm software.  I've never seen any NOT
support commands from the local Kermit.

2. Even more desirable would be the ability to change packet sizes.
Telix seems to enforce a maximum packet size of 94, which makes Kermit
slow in comparison to {x|y|z}modem.  Now, if one is stuck with a dialin
system in which comm params MUST be E71 instead of N81, *MODEM become
non-options.

Finally, when I use VI the 'h' (move left) key removes characters from
the screen (ick), but fortunately does not delete them.  What have I got
set wrong?  I've noticed other VT102 flakiness, mostly characters
disappearing from the screen.

E-mail suggestions are welcome.  Thanks.
