Kermit! Believe it or not, there is still a Kermit project out there. I noticed it last install I did under Fedora Core 5. I didn't install it, as I have no need for it anymore, but it's good to know that some software never dies.

You may be surprised if I told you that there is a device, currently in widespread use, that people use everyday that still uses protocols like ZMODEM.

Most ATMs today use it to communicate back to the bank.

I still have devices using YMODEM for EDI transfers.
