Hi Mohamed,

     About "SynchroNet & MS-Kermit" of July 20:

MS> ...i have an offer to make about the installation of `MS-Kermit
MS> v3.15 Medium' as an external ~FOSSIL~ protocol driver...
DM> ...great.  I suggest you find a Synchronet sysop...  ...I'd be
DM> happy to answer any questions that you or the sysop has, but...
CB> Kermit?  I like Miss Piggy much better...
AM> Pardon my butting in, but do you have any particular reason...
 J> Now that's cool!  A simple numerical eight.  First time i saw...
AM> Kidding!  I suppose you've never worn shadez either?  B-)
 K> That has been around since 300 baud
MN> ...I would be glad to assist with installing and testing...
 J> ...it looks like a cat face or maybe a batman mask...  :)
 J> Really!  Cool.  I like it.

     I can see your comrades are capable of humour and i'm told by close
relatives i don't lack that human quality myself, perhaps when the topic
inspires me i'll jump on the opportunity and get some fun of my own.  :>

MN> Since I am still in launch mode I can afford to make my system
MN> available for testing configs.  Of course based on mutually
MN> agreeable time and resource.  Please let me know if this would work.

     It believe it would but not here since they were so funny i'm still
in laugh mode!  Ha!  Ha!  Ha!...  Well, i'll find enough time and energy
to bring this to conclusion but i'm afraid it should be done without the
distractions, wouldn't you concur?  :)  We can go thru the preliminaries
using private correspondance, for example.  I thought `FdN_DOS-INet' was
in need for contributions lately but i may want to pass on that one too,
after all.  Too bad, it would have been easy enough to gather input from
the author and, hopefully, a few other `SynchroNet' SysOps!  8,-)  Right
now i'll only give a starter in case some lurkers may be interested too:

     `MS-Kermit v3.14' is from where you can get the DOCUMENTATION since
the subsequent packages were updates only.  :)  `MS-Kermit v3.15 Medium'
should be small enough to be used as an external protocol driver using a
LEGACY ~FOSSIL~ interface;  the "Lite" executable build lacks features i
believe we may want during the initial phase.  The rest is optional.  :)

     michel.samson @t bbsnets d0t com is my ~E-Mail~ address on my usual
BBS, if everything works right i'll get your reply thru the .QWK packet;
i'm sorry for the cryptic way i wrote it, with that much funny people in
here i could be asking for trouble if i didn't take basic measures!  I'm
aware human intervention remains possible but at least i done my part...

                                                        Salutations,  :)
