Kermit 1. Kermit the Frog. The green frog puppet star of The Muppet Show. 2. An asynchronous file transfer protocol that organizes data into 128-byte blocks and employs a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for excellent error control. Kermit operates over a wide variety of connections, including dial-up modem connections and TCP/IP connections. Although Kermit is not in the public domain, Columbia University generally allows its use at no charge, so most communications protocols support it. Kermit was developed by the Columbia University Computer center in 1981 and named for Kermit the Frog. See also asynchronous, block, CRC, protocol, XMODEM, and ZMODEM. |
