- I think Kermit has been unfairly slimed in the comparisons: the description
- of low throughput is true for very old Kermits (like the 1985-vintage
- one I used to use), but not for newer ones.
-
- I installed a newer version of kermit on our SPARCstations, and found
- it highly efficient with both other Suns and with PCs. Over an MNP5
- V.32 connection, I regularly saw throughputs of around 1900 chars/sec
- (with a 19,200 bps RS-232 port speed). I use three 512-byte windows,
- and this seems to work very well on a variety of line conditions.
