[CLUE-Cert] Re: Study Group 6-27 - Thanks!

[Sean LeBlanc]

I wanted to add one other thing I've noticed about this:
Kermit was s-l-o-w. Noticing zterm support in tera term,
I thought I'd try that. It worked, and sz was already
on my Linux box. I haven't done any real comparison, but
on Friday, I sent a 12M file by Kermit, and it took at
least five hours(!) to send it. I tried a ~3M file later
with zterm, and it went in about 5-10 minutes, IIRC. Now,
these were at different times in the day, so maybe it was
related to something else happening on LAN at work, I'm not
sure.

It turns out that the Kermit project has ported kermit to Linux.  I found it on my RedHat installation disks as gkermit-1.0-8.i386.rpm and installed it.
