This  is  a  slightly  lobotomized kermit.  The help command, the
script facility, and the automatic dial  support  have	been  re-
moved.	The ? and ESC commands still work, so there is still rea-
sonable built-in help.	The only V7 kermit feature that does  not
work  is  the  ability	to see whether there are input characters
waiting.  This means that you will not be able to ask for  status
during a file transfer (though this is not critical, because ker-
mit prints a dot every so  often  and  other  special  characters
whenever  there  is an error or timeout).  Start kermit, and then
type the following to open a 2400 baud session, for example:
(It is more convenient if you put these commands  in  .kermrc  in
your home directory, so that they get done automatically whenever
you run kermit.)  This will connect you to the modem or  whatever
on  the  serial  port.	 Now log into the other system.  When you
want to transfer files, run kermit on the other system.   To  it,
type  This puts its kermit into a sort of slave mode where it ex-
pects commands from the kermit running on your MINIX system.  Now
come back to the command level on MINIX kermit, by typing the es-
cape character followed by c.  (Kermit will tell you the  current
escape character when you do the connect command.)  At this point
you can issue various  commands.   Your  kermit  will  coordinate
things	with kermit on the other machine so that you only have to
type commands at one end.  Common commands are
Filenames can include wildcards.  By default, kermit works  in	a
system-independent,  text  mode.   (In effect it assumes that the
whole world is MS-DOS and converts end of line and file names ac-
cordingly.)   To send binary files, you will want to type on both
ends before starting any transfers.  This disables CR LF to  new-
line  conversion.   If	both  of  your systems are some flavor of
UNIX, you might as well put this in .kermrc on both ends and  run
in  binary  mode all the time.	Also, if both systems are UNIX it
is recommended that you use on both ends.  This causes it to keep
file  names unchanged, rather than mapping to legal MS-DOS names.
Here is a typical .kermrc for use on
On the other end of the line, for example, the host at your local
computer  center  to  which you want to transfer files, a typical
profile might be:
Kermit has many other options and features.  For a  pleasant  and
highly readable description of it, see the following book:
  Title: Kermit: A File Transfer Protocol

is  one  for any computer your system might want to talk to.  Co-
