	There is C-Kermit, and then there is C-Kermit.

	There are many releases of it, and is't been ported
	to many machines - one version may have problems
	that another doesn't, etc. Also, alothough the
	documentation is quite extensive, it isn't always
	made available, nor always used when available.

	It's not clear what actual problems were encountered.

	Ymodem-batch, implemented by "sb" & "rb", are
	companions of "sz" & "rz", and are found along
	with them. They usually seem to work even where
	their zmodem counterparts fail.

	Procomm is quite reliable, but it isn't always
	set up properly as far as parity etc. is concerned
	when using transfer protocols.
