Speed is an old complaint with kermit.  There was an article
in SysAdmin (I think) a year or so ago that exalted kermit
saying its bad rap was do to some default configuration 
settings which (assuming you have administrative rights)
could easily be changed.  If I can find the article, I'll
bring to our next meeting.  

I'm glad you guys reminded me of this stuff, it's been 
several years since I've used kermit and zterm.  I'd 
pretty much forgotten about them.
