Hi Sean,

     About "SBBS/W32 Kermit SABOTAGE" of November 18:

SH> ...I added a link to the kermit docs as shipped with Synchronet.
MS> This economy of words tells a lot about your so called "honesty"...
SH> That will be there forever.  It's CVS.
MS> How convenient...  I'm supposed to believe you have no control...
SH> You know nothing of CVS or RCS apparently.
MS> Vas donc chier ostie de niaiseux.  Tu peux ben te la s'couer...
SD> Je ne comprends pas un simple mot...  Peut-ˆtre si j'apprenais...

     Don't bother...  ;-)  Just imagine my reaction when, after a months
long thread, systematic obstruction finally leads to a decision which we
could have agreed on from the begining, without controversy!  Little can
stop some individuals from displaying their omnipotence, apparently;  if
one goes back to my post of November 9 and 10 over closed-circuit tests,
though, one will find puzzling that those people didn't pay attention to
a *SIGNIFICANT* improvement observed when using `HyperTerminal' with the
`CKOKer16.EXE' protocol-driver run under some `W32' DOS box environment:

SH> Every other protocol implemented in Hyterminal works better...
MS} That may be true now but i observed a strange improvement...
SH> ...HyperTerminal...  ...has a terrible Kermit...
MS> When Swindell wrote about `HyperTerminal' he didn't care to mention
MS> *NUMBERS*;  the chances are he was getting below 600 cps...  ...i
MS> tested the `C-Kermit 5A(189)'/`HyperTerminal' duo side-by-side via
MS> `VSPD XP v4'...  ...i observed transfer rates which went FAR BEYOND
MS> MY EXPECTATIONS (3K5 cps), nonetheless!  ...`HyperTerminal' remains
MS} unfit for `Kermit' sessions until further notice but it doesn't mean
MS} the issue can't be solved just because i have my own limits...

     I have preliminary results at these two ~URL~s for everyone to see:

          http://public.sogetel.net/bicephale/HTKermit.JPG (129 Kb)
          http://public.sogetel.net/bicephale/HTKer(2).JPG (148 Kb)

     It seems probable that using a P-200 Mhz MMX PC to simulate Virtual
Serial-Ports, using a set of ~TelNet~ client/server SoftWare in between,
eventually, euh...  well, that must be the BARE MINIMUM WorkBench to get
testing done but no omnipotent SysOp could notice the numbers, anyway...

                                  8^>

MS> ...si tu te sens fier de sortir une lesson ~TCP~/~IP~ hors-contexte
MS> de ton chapeau...
SH> It's relevent.
SD> D'habitude j'avais Babelfish pour traduire...

     It's a Babel Tower when an omnipotent SysOp pretends to correct any
"misleading" statement and just adds more of his own with topic steering
over ~TCP~/~IP~ issues which got no ties with ~FOSSIL~ interfacing as is
done in `Kermit.INI', a ~FOSSIL~ protocol-driver setup!  %-o  I've dealt
with Kermit', learned specific `SBBS' concepts, `MSK.INI' still won't be
used and now topic steering is natural...  I say don't spoil your spare-
time for a guy who needs no attention:  he's omnipotent, after all!  %-b

SD> You speak French?
SH> Not anymore, but I can still read it to a degree.

     I knew it:  this one turns out to be omnipotent all right!!!  Well,
if you must, ask for a translation but i warn that it would be much more
improper than a relax discussion over, say, `Turbo Pascal' code!...  P->

                                    Salutations,

                                    Michel Samson
