Wow, Kermit is still around? I think the last time I
used that was
around 1985.
Are modems still a thing?
I used it last year... without a modem.

Clem Cole mentions kermit in connection with the
question raised about
the uses of the cu utility.
As an FYI, Kermit's author, Frank da Cruz, is preparing a final
release, version 10.0, and I've been working with him on testing
builds in numerous environments. There are frequent updates during
this work, and the latest snapshots can be found at
https://kermitproject.org/ftp/kermit/pretest/
The x-YYYYMMDD.* bundles do not contain a leading directory, so be
careful to unpack them in an empty directory. The build relies on a
lengthy makefile with platform-specific target names, like irix65,
linux, and solaris11: the leading comments in the makefile provide
further guidance.
