I gave up looking about 35% of the way through the code; do you anywhere
protect against killing a user during downloads, when the terminal would
normally be idle for long (up to several hours with a slow modem and big
files) periods of time?

I run my own downloads with a script that logs me off and hangs up the
phone, then I go to bed.  I'd be a little huffy about having my kermit
session killed in mid-download because I hadn't sent a keystroke in a
while.
