Thanks to everybody which sent me a copy of the CIS B sample program...pls
don't send me more copies. After looking through the source and the protocol
description one big question remains...WHY DOES COMPUSERVE USE IT?....
there is nothing in this slightly baroque protocol which can't be done with
Kermit and done better with the Kermit protocol extensions (sliding windows,
large packets) and Kermit imposes no restrictions on the settings of the
serial line.
