Kermit 95 from e-academy.com

12 June 2002

The Kermit Project has contracted with e-academy.com in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) to provide automated Internet sale and delivery of Kermit 95, including a full-featured 21-day downloadable trial version. The new service is available here:

http://www.e-academy.com/kermit

Note that:

• The K95 version delivered by e-academy is presently 1.1.21 (the one which includes SSH and FTP, but is available only in a Console version). Work is in progress on making version 2.0 available.

• You can download a 1.1.21 trial version if you wish, and you will still be able to download a 2.0 trial version when it is available. (At first this was not true; now it is.)

• Both the secure and regular versions are available. The secure version includes the new SSH v1/v2 client.

• The secure version is available in most countries. The restricted countries are Iraq, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Cuba. By treaty, the same export restrictions apply when distributing from Canada as when distributing from the USA.

• Electronically delivered copies have no physical component -- no packaging, no shipping, no CDs. C-Kermit is not included, nor is the C-Kermit manual. For this reason, electronically delivered copies from e-academy are heavily discounted.

• e-academy's prices will rise as soon as they begin delivering K95 2.0.

• If you purchase K95 1.1.21 from e-academy and install it, you can upgrade to K95 2.0 at no extra cost: CLICK HERE for details.

Therefore:

• The cheapest way to purchase Kermit 95 2.0 is to purchase version 1.1.21 from e-academy now, before the price goes up, and then apply the upgrade.
