Synopsis:

The world's most portable communications software, C-Kermit runs on computers
ranging from desktop PCs to colossal supercomputers as a serial and modem
communications package as well as a TCP/IP network client and server. It offers
automatic dialing, terminal sessions, fast and reliable file transfer, a
powerful script programming language, and international character-set
translation-all in a consistent, cross-platform manner.

Using C-Kermit: Communication Software, Second Edition is the new and definitve
reference for C-Kermit 6.0, expanded and updated to describe fully all of its
new features with brand-new tutorials on today's high-speed modems and how to
get the most out of them.



Some noteworthy features of this reference are:

- The most sophisticated discussion of modems, telephones numbers, dialing
directories, and dialing available anywhere
- New techniques for achieving faster and faster file transfer
- A new chapter on external protocols such as XMODEM, YMODEM, and ZMODEM
- Expanded coverage of TCP/IP, X.25, DECnet, NETBIOS, and other networks
- Automatic client/server features
- Support for many new platforms - most notably Windows 95, Windows NT, and
Stratus VOS
- Support for many new character sets
- Massive improvements in the power and usability of the script language

Like the first edition, the second edition of Using C-Kermit includes complete
reference material: character tables, tables of escape sequences, an "acronym
decoder," an excellent index, and an extensive bibliography.
