Kermit for Netscape

[Bruce Hinman]

We have gone through the same headaches last year that you are trying to
deal with now. After much searching and testing we settled on Netterm. It
is not free but is very affordable. You can find out more on this product
at http://starbase.neosoft.com/~zkrr01/netterm.html.
Hope this helps.
