Hi Sean,

About "ZModem" of July 25:

Hello, Michael.

Lets begin with presentations 1st: my name is Michel, not Michael.

I get 5K/sec speeds with ZModem...

Hummm... Where did you get the idea that i might be interrested in discussing `ZMoDem' at this stage? After all, you seem totaly satisfied
with it and, quite frankly, i don't see how we can help each other. I'd
be glad to tell why `Kermit' but `ZMoDem', i'm afraid, i've heard it all already. Tell me, honestly, isn't it just another opportunity to fight?

I have a more immediate concern: is there a moderator here and who
is he exactly??? I may have given the impression that i like wars but i
don't (or you posted this after some hear-say or you saw the saga we had
in `Win 95'?)... In any case, my original topic was about an offer i've
made public long ago: i'm looking for a SysOp who can deal with his own
BBS SoftWare while i help him with installing `MS-Kermit' as an external
file transfer protocol... We'll "team-up" so that more SysOps and users
can evaluate `Kermit' UNDER SUITABLE CONDITIONS, which means i'm willing
to help the user to install `MS-Kermit' too. I can't be expected to get
every single piece of SoftWare installed and configured here so my offer
is limited to using `MS-Kermit' with `COM/IP' or a similar utility, this
is an alternative to the `Kermit 95' 21 days trial version but a guy can
ask me about `MS-Kermit' run under DOS on a LEGACY 8088 4.77 Mhz PC too.

You see, i intended to share the previous findings and cumulate the
new ones so that the end product can be used to generate another "ready-
made" FreeWare package (i call mine "GlueWare"). Of course, i bet there
is little new here, i wrote this all and in lengths before! I won't try
to spare you, my true feeling is that the change of name and topic isn't
an accident... If i'm wrong and you're one of those all too rare SysOps
which i try to reach, euh... then i may consider sharing experiences...

;-)

I wish to promote `Kermit' thru a couple archives so that SysOps no
longer complain that they can't add `Kermit' to their ~TelNettable~ BBS.

As for putting in protocols into Nexus, you can get freeware
packages (i.e. CEXYZ and CEXYZ/2) that do the job nicely.

Something tells me that the strange feeling i have is justified. I
want to help SysOps to help other SysOps, i don't need help myself. The protocol which i offer to help with is `Kermit', not `ZMoDem'; finally,
i'm not a SysOp, i don't have `Nexus' installed (i'd rather not) and the correspondant will have to be my eyes because of this: i'm not going to
invest time when the SysOp is waiting for my efforts to lead nowhere!...

%-o

I'm not willing to debate over BBS SoftWare packages beyond serial-
ports and other matters which are a requirement for installing `Kermit';
i mentioned `Nexus' because the author is active and his was 100 % free.

What advantages are there for Kermit over ZModem?

Since so few SysOps & BBSers use a DECENT `Kermit' protocol i'm not surprized that you must ask. Tell me, are you the kind of SysOp i seek?

Salutations,

Michel Samson
