first the good news : i'm willing to install a FULL Kermit server, which means that i have enough dasd/cpu space to hold the complete Kermit datas. now the bad news : i only will do it, if this server will be a peer system to the one at cuvma, which means that all updating will be done automatically by this one. i don't have time to write even a single line of code or answer user question on the various kermit programs. result : i will give all hardware but NO (wo)manpower (except for maintenance) to reduce the traffic on the interconti. lines. -ulrich giese-
