Kermit Software for Hewlett Packard Platforms

HP-UX

C-Kermit 8.0 is available for every release of HP-UX from 5.00 to 11i, on all hardware models. This is our most advanced Kermit server software, incorporating every feature of the Kermit protocol, plus the ability to dial out and make Telnet and FTP connections, the ability to accept incoming connections, the ability to send both numeric and alphanumeric pages, and full scripting capatility. Prebuilt binaries are available for many combinations of HP-9000 model and HP-UX version; others can be built from source code. C-Kermit is bundled with HP-UX 10.00 and later by contract between Columbia University and Hewlett Packard. In case the version distributed with HP-UX lags behind the current one, you can update your version from here. Status: A.

Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

Kermit 95 is available for HP PCs running Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP. It offers the same capabilities as C-Kermit, plus built-in FTP, and XYZMODEM protocols, and 40 terminal emulations including HP2621 and HPTERM. It can make serial connections (dialed or direct) as well as TCP/IP (SSH, Telnet, or Rlogin) connections, as well as full scripting capability. Status: A.

HP/Apollo

Previous release of C-Kermit are available for HP/Apollo Aegis and SR10. Status: C.

HP-1000

For the HP-1000 with RTE6 or RTEA: the hpm*.* files from the kermit/d directory. Binary in kermit/bin/hpmker.run. NOTE: HP-1000 Kermit does not negotiate Kermit protocol parameters correctly. To use with a modern Kermit program such as C-Kermit or Kermit 95, tell the newer Kermit to "set send negotiation-string-max-length 6". Status: D.

HP-3000

Two Kermit programs are available for the HP-3000, one written in SPL, the other in C. Get the hp3*.* file in text mode from the kermit/d directory in the Kermit FTP archive. This will retrieve all the files needed for both of them. The functionality should be roughly equivalent, since the C version is a hand-translation of the SPL version. Status: D.

IBM-compatible HP PCs with DOS 2.0 or higher or Windows 3.x

MS-DOS Kermit. Serial and network connections. MS-DOS Kermit 3.11 and later includes its own built-in TCP/IP stack. VT100/102/220/320 emulation, Kermit file-transfer protocol, full scripting. Status: A.
