alt Hacker NewsNice and congratulations
Ages a ago I used it on Coherent OS via dial up to sign into a Sun Server at work that I used for USENET and general internet access. When I dialed in the server would hang up and call be back so I would avoid Long Distance Charges. ckermit handled that itself, fun times.
I purchased the book to help with the project, I should go and dig it out :)
It (or rather, they, as there are a number of Kermit books) is pretty good. I've got a few on my bookshelf. OK, I'll admit, more Kermit and UUCP books than I probably need, but oh well. The Kermit books are mostly available online now also: https://www.kermitproject.org/booksonline.html
