Well, I don't know what your definition of "superior" is, that can be a
rather subjective thing.  I've just used kermit for more years than I
can remember is all.  And being the control freak I am (at least where
systems are concerned), I like the control Kermit gives me (and it can
be used over TCP/IP and more).  I understand there's also a gkermit (or
some such) for those of the GUI persuasion, although I've personally
never used it, and a kermitd that works like a telnet/ftp session (also
never tried it, ssh just works too well).
