Hi Plan 9 people.  I'm the Kermit guy.  I'm working on a new release of
C-Kermit (communications software, serial and TCP/IP; terminal connection,
file transfer, character-set translation, scripting), which to date has been
adapted to about 700 different platforms, but so far not yet to Plan 9.

Since Plan 9 is supposed to include POSIX APIs and a sockets library, which
C-Kermit already supports, I thought it would be worth trying to see if
C-Kermit could be built there, or what it would take to make it build.

Anybody want to take a shot at this?  Or, alternatively, does anyone have a
Plan 9 system that I could get telnet and ftp access to, and do it myself?

Thanks!
