This should be one of the last test releases before the
final 8.0 release, so please give it a spin. New features
include:
. A scriptable secure FTP client.
. A scriptable secure HTTP client.
. A scriptable secure Telnet client.
. A scriptable SSH client.
. Learned scripts.
Built-in security methods include Kerberos IV, Kerberos V,
SSL/TLS, and SRP. SSH is available through your external
ssh client. And yes, of course C-Kermit is also still a
lowly modem program.
C-Kermit 8.0 Beta.03 has been built and somewhat tested on
Xenix 2.3.4, UNIX 3.2v4.2, OSR5.0.2, OSR5.0.5, OSR5.0.6,
Unixware 2.1.0, 2.1.3, 7.0.1, and 7.1.1, and on Open Unix
8.0.0. If you can build it on other SCO platforms, please
let me know.
Thanks!
- Frank

The build falls over for me at the final linking stage on OpenServer
5.0.5 with gcc and networking when using sco32v505netgccelf. Looks to be
a makefile problem.
% make sco32v505netgccelf
TCP/IP networking added - using gcc, dynamic elf library
make "MAKE=make" sco32v500net "CC=gcc" "CC2=gcc"

Building with sco32v505netgcc works (and produces an elf binary anyway).

Which is in stark contract to Windows, where we actually do have to build
SSH into our Kermit client, and it's taking months and months and months.
We are doing this simply because Kermit can't survive without it. No matter
whether SSH is a good idea or an extremely poor one, everybody is retiring
Telnet in favor of it, even if what they should be doing is securing their
sites with manageable security methods such as Kerberos (this applies most
emphatically to large companies, universities, and government agencies).
The trade-off, as always, is ease of use versus utility.
