It is based on http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/archive.html C-Kermit 9.0.302 2011/07/11 cku302.tar.gz I realized afterwards that I should have used C-Kermit 9.0.305 Alpha.02. In any case, compiling is a first step, but does not suggest it is fully functional. Mostly #include and minor changes were needed, except for one big mess with the cygwin custom struct hostent being defined with const char *h_name Cheers, Glenn
