- I'm using VLT (Valiant Little Terminal) a free VT emulator from the Stanford
- Linear Accelerator Center? SLAC, and it includes "hooks" for external protocol
- libraries. I was able to find the libraries XPRKERMIT, XPRXMODEM, XPRYMODEM,
- XPRZMODEM, XPRBPLUS and XPRASCII. The XPRKERMIT seems to be the only one that
- works right all the time, and it does support server commands (BYE and FINISH).
- I've tried HANDSHAKE, but I've decided I like the free software better.
