I think the main problem with Telix before (before 3.12, that is) was the
lack of proper cursor-key mapping. I've tried 3.12 with VMS, and it now
seems to work fine.
I have found that MS-Kermit has a plethora of drawbacks which make it
unsuitable for beginning users. It reminds me a lot of ZComm. Both are
very good and extremely powerful communications packages. But both have a
user interface that makes DOS seem like a beginner's dream system.
