As much as I like Kermit, I have to make two corrections:

- Kermit for Windows (called Kermit95) isn't free, cf.
  http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95.html
  The price tag, however, is very moderate.

- Kermit for *ix/VMS/etc. (called C-Kermit) does not do terminal
  emulation, cf. http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckfaq.html#term
  It only uses what the OS has to give.

That said, I'm a happy user of Kermit95 (on Windows 2k and XP) and
C-Kermit (on *ix and VMS). It often has served me well when other
network connectivity was broken.
