  Kermit
       
           A popular {packet-oriented} {protocol} from
          {Columbia University} for transferring {text files} and
          {binary files} on both {full-duplex} and {half-duplex} 8 bit
          and 7-bit serial connections in a system- and
          medium-independent fashion, and implemented on hundreds of
          different computer and {operating system} {platforms}.  On
          full-duplex connections a {sliding window} protocol with
          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
          than other protocols such as {ZMODEM}, {YMODEM}, and {XMODEM},
          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
          {copyright} by Columbia University.
