I was never a big Kermit fan. It came at the very end of the days
when it would have been of most use to me (76-81). As a nearly
charter member of Ward & Randy's BBS, I adopted Ward Christiansen's
XMODEM protocol, and used MODEM/MODEM86 during those years.

First time I saw it was a copy that came with an 8051 protoboard in '87
and it gave me fits, being generally much less capable than a clone
of Andrew Flugelman's terminal emulator/transfer program (forgot the
name).

PROCOMM most closely resembled Andrew's program, so that became my
standard terminal emulator under DOS, and later Windows.
