+C-Kermit is a combined network and serial communication software
+package offering a consistent, transport-independent, cross-platform
+approach to connection establishment, terminal sessions, file
+transfer, file management, character-set translation, numeric and
+alphanumeric paging, and automation of file transfer and management,
+dialogs, and communication tasks through its built-in scripting
+language.
+
+C-Kermit includes:
+
+ * The fastest and most advanced implementation of the Kermit file
+ transfer protocol available anywhere.
+ * A powerful, portable, easy-to-use script programming language to
+ automate all your routine communications tasks.
+ * Consistent operation over serial connections (direct or dialed)
+ and network connections ¿ on a huge selection of hardware and
+ software platforms.
+ * Secure authentication and strong encryption.
+ * Built-in scriptable FTP and HTTP clients plus an SSH interface
+ * Configurability as an SSH Subsystem
+ * Character-set translation in both file transfer and online sessions,
+ for Western- and Eastern-European languages, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew,
+ and Japanese, now including Unicode.
+ * Ability to send numeric and alphanumeric pages.
+
+This SlackBuild installs a default initialization file in the documentation
+directory. However, an initialization file is rarely required with ckermit.
