I have never been a big fan of Kermit - nor is it really required. Kermit was designed for the days of modem-modem file transfer. Here it is just overkill. I've written MANY downloaders and frankly, a simple, block oriented, system seems to work quite well (with ack-nak/CRC of course). > It'd be great if you can also give some feedback about the other sides of > UBL/Host tools. Frankly, I think a C-oriented (vs. assembly) is a better route. It would allow a greater number of people to participate and get more eyes on the code. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to work with any of them... :^( So basically I'm speaking from experience from other downloaders (some that I have written).
