D = Donated long ago by a programmer who is no longer available;
we can't support it, but source code is available (volunteer programmers
with access to these systems are welcome to make improvements and submit them
to the Kermit archive;
contact us if you are interested).
(NOTE: The comments about support are valid only through
30 June 2011).
- HP-UX
- C-Kermit 9.0 is available for every release of
HP-UX from 5.00 to 11i, on all hardware models. This is our most advanced
Kermit server software, incorporating every feature of the Kermit protocol,
plus the ability to dial out and make Telnet and FTP connections, the ability
to accept incoming connections, the ability to send both numeric and
alphanumeric pages, and full scripting capability.
Prebuilt binaries are available for many
combinations of HP-9000 model and HP-UX version; others can be built from source code.
C-Kermit is bundled with HP-UX 10.00 and later by contract between Columbia
University and Hewlett Packard. In case the version distributed with HP-UX
lags behind the current one, you can update your version from here.
Status: A.
- Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Visa/7/etc
- Kermit 95 is
available for HP PCs running 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
Windows. It offers the same capabilities as C-Kermit, plus built-in FTP,
and XYZMODEM protocols, and 40 terminal emulations including HP2621 and
HPTERM. It can make serial connections (dialed or direct) as well as TCP/IP
(SSH, Telnet, or Rlogin) connections, as well as full scripting capability.
Status: A.
- HP/Apollo
- Older releases of C-Kermit (5 and 6) are
available for HP/Apollo Aegis and SR10. Prebuilt binaries are here.
Status: C.
- HP-1000
- For the HP-1000 with RTE6 or RTEA: In the HP
section of the Kermit Software Archive
Binary in
kermit/bin/hpmker.run.
NOTE: HP-1000 Kermit does not negotiate Kermit protocol parameters correctly.
To use with a modern Kermit program such as C-Kermit or Kermit 95, tell the
newer Kermit to "set send negotiation-string-max-length 6".
Status: D.
- HP-3000
- Two Kermit programs are available for the HP-3000, one written in SPL,
the other in C, also in the HP section of the
Kermit Software Archive.
The functionality should be roughly equivalent, since the C
version is a hand-translation of the SPL version. Status: D.
