Using C-Kermit: Communication Software, Second Edition is the new and definitive reference for C-Kermit 6.0, expanded and updated to describe fully all of its new features with brand-new tutorials on today's high-speed modems and how to get the most out of them. Some noteworthy features of this reference are the most sophisticated discussion of modems, telephone numbers, dialing directories, and dialing available anywhere; new techniques for achieving faster and faster file transfer; a new chapter on external protocols such as XMODEM, YMODEM, and ZMODEM; expanded coverage of TCP/IP, X.25, DECnet, NETBIOS, and other networks; automatic file-transfer initiation; advanced client/server features; support for many new platforms - most notably Windows 95, Windows NT, and Stratus VOS; support for many new character sets; and massive improvements in the power and usability of the script language. Like the first edition, the second edition of Using C-Kermit includes complete reference material: character tables, tables of escape sequences, an "acronym decoder," an excellent index, and an extensive bibliography.
