and 7-bit serial connections in a system- and medium-independent fashion, and implemented on hundreds of selective retransmission provides excellent performance and error recovery characteristics. On 7-bit connections, locking shifts provide efficient transfer of 8-bit data. When properly implemented, as in the Columbia University Kermit Software collection, performance is equal to or better especially on poor connections. Kermit is an open protocol - anybody can base their own program on it, but some Kermit software and source code is (1996-01-29)
