Kermit does not need 8 bit parity to function.  I know as one of the major
hookups to the machines here at RPI is a 7 bit machine, and I've transferred
quite a bit of stuff using Kermit.  What Kermit will do when using 7 bit
word length is to use the 8th bit prefix.  I, unfortunately, am not an ex-
pert on Kermit.  So perhaps a real expert can come along and reveal the truth
to all of us.

Thank you and happy hunting!             Actually: Ethan M. Young
