Huh?  Looking at it, I could probably dish out htlm's with it to a web browser,
ansi's to a terminal package, whatever.  What do you want?

Why not?  Looks good in a normal telnet session or a ssh login.  With a bit of
tweaking I might even get graphics to work.

Probably.  Certainly the server end of things no matter what the connection. 
The neighbour and I are going to compare wireless transfers with binkd and see
how that compares.  We've been having a few glitches there from time to time
and kermit might be exactly what we're looking for to clean that up.

Always.  It streams really nice on the LAN.  Was planning to try a video stream
between a couple machines.  It should work.  I don't see why not.

Sounds good.  I still have to move it over to the little pc/104 machine which
is directly wired into the net and need to create a few login screens.  I'll
stick to straight text so we don't overdo it.  I take it your client can handle
the c-kermit command set?  If it works we'll talk and see what you think as far
as a proper internet capable BBS ought to be.  Beats me all to heck.

Ah!  Yeah that should work.  Maybe we'll try anonymous first and take it from
there.  Give me a couple of days to test and tweak and I'll let you know here.

Right.

Heh, heh.  Good one.

Life is good,
