Nope. ckermit has never been offered for sale to the masses. Kermit-95 is a Windows-only offering that is a commercial product, but you don't need (or want) it for Linux. The licensing info is here: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html#license Here's a summary of the changes to the new license (and one that specifically allows Red Hat to distribute ckermit, and it still annoys me that they don't). "This is the new C-Kermit 7.0 and 8.0 license. The intention is to allow C-Kermit to be distributed with "free" operating systems such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, The Hurd, etc, even when the distributions themselves (such as Red Hat or Caldera) might be sold and/or might include applications that are not free, and yet still require a license to include C-Kermit in or with "non-free" products such as commercial OS's, commercial software packages, embedded systems, and hardware (other than general-purpose computers preloaded with "free" operating systems), since these licenses furnish a large portion of the Kermit Project's funding." .../Ed Ed Wilts Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan M.
