Nice and congratulations

Ages a ago I used it on Coherent OS via dial up to sign into a Sun Server at work that I used for USENET and general internet access. When I dialed in the server would hang up and call be back so I would avoid Long Distance Charges. ckermit handled that itself, fun times.

I purchased the book to help with the project, I should go and dig it out :)

I am a gray beard and still use Kermit regularly for embedded development. It’s very handy for automating things over a serial port console. I wonder how much adoption it sees with the younger crowd.

Bill Catchings (the undergrad who helped Frank da Cruz with the original spec and coding) still blogs. It has been a while since he spoke specifically about kermit, but he has one or two interesting posts about the 40th anniversary of Kermit.

https://www.billcatchings.com/2012/04/frog-from-my-past.html https://www.billcatchings.com/2013/11/kermit-oral-history-pa...

and here is a link to the oral history he discusses:
