Right; this is one of many interfaces; others include traditional Unix
command line:
kermit -l /dev/ttyS0 -b 19200 ...
Plus interactive prompt and command, command file, and script. Includes
lots of debugging features ("show comm", "set term debug on", etc), parity
and word-size selection, built-in modem dialing for dozens of kinds of
modems, PPP dialing, numeric & alpha paging. Everything is settable,
customizable, and scriptable. It's also a Telnet client, it can transfer
files, etc etc. Here's where to find it:
