I use ckermit quite a lot, but only because I know of no free alternative. I only use it for basic serial port operations, where I just want to talk to a serially attached device with a minimum of fuss. minicom is intolerable for this purpose, and cu is inconvenient and requires installing the entire uucp package. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
