| Kermit A popular from for transferring and on both and 8 bit and 7-bit serial connections in a system- and medium-independent fashion, and implemented on hundreds of different computer and . On full-duplex connections a protocol with selective retransmission provides excellent performance and error recovery characteristics. On 7-bit connections, locking shifts provide efficient transfer of 8-bit data. When properly implemented, as in the Columbia University Kermit Software collection, performance is equal to or better than other protocols such as , , and , especially on poor connections.
