KERMIT
       Kl-10 Error-free Reciprocal Micro Interconnect over Tty lines
       

Kermit

    A popular packet-oriented protocol from
   Columbia University for transferring text files and
   binary files on both full-duplex and half-duplex 8 bit
   and 7-bit serial connections in a system- and
   medium-independent fashion, and implemented on hundreds of
   different computer and operating system platforms.  On
   full-duplex connections a sliding window protocol with
   selective retransmission provides excellent performance and
   error recovery characteristics.  On 7-bit connections, locking
   shifts provide efficient transfer of 8-bit data.

   When properly implemented, as in the Columbia University
   Kermit Software collection, performance is equal to or better
   than other protocols such as ZMODEM, YMODEM, and XMODEM,
   especially on poor connections.

   Kermit is an open protocol - anybody can base their own
   program on it, but some Kermit software and source code is
   copyright by Columbia University.
