Here is the huji stuff:

noa.huji.ac.il:/tex contains the tex--xet distribution, instructions, 
fonts and other stuff. (BTW - /pub there contains pc editors etc.). 
/tex/Xhebrew contains X11 fonts and a crummy version of emacs18.58 which 
"supports" Hebrew, losing most of its other functionality... Use it at 
your own risk as an absolutely last resource.

horizon.huji.ac.il:/pub contains the Hebrew version of pine, including 
the Hebrew pico which is a small and nice editor, which is definitely 
good enough for simple editing. However - it is not usable as-is with tex 
as the files are backwards, and as discussed on Friday, flipping them 
will flip the English too. Sigh...

These 2 sites have copies of kermit3.13 w/Hebrew support developed here. 
However, kermit3.14 has Hebrew support built in. A beta version exists 
for anon.ftp on vms.huji.ac.il:/internet_pc. (this is a VMS machine, so 
you have to login as "anonymous", and not as "ftp"!)

Enjoy!
