* SEND ? prints a list of switches rather than a list of filenames.
If you want to see a list of filenames, use a (system-dependent)
construction such as SEND ./? (for UNIX, Windows, or OS/2), SEND
software. Such drivers are generally NOT available in UNIX or other
non-Windows (or non-OS/2, in the case of the Mwave) platforms.
- In order to dial a modem, C-Kermit must know its repertoire of commands
- and responses. Each modem make and model is likely to have a different
- repertoire. Since Kermit has no way of knowhing which kind of modem
- will be dialed, normally you have to tell it with a SET MODEM TYPE
- command, e.g.:

configuration includes error correction, data compression, and hardware

what SET MODEM TYPE GENERIC-HIGH-SPEED does. In C-Kermit 8.0,
GENERIC-HIGH-SPEED has become the default modem type, so now it is
an escape sequence like "<ESC> O p"). In both cases, C-Kermit has no
way to tell the difference between such multibyte key values, and the
corresponding series of single-byte key values. This could only be done
- by accesssing the keyboard at a much lower level in a highly
