I am trying to use the new C-kermit relase 4.2 to transfer entire directory trees from one Unix system to another. Following the documentation I tried the following commands: Receiving system: kermit -qik | tar xf - Sending system: tar cf - | kermit -il /dev/... -b ... -s - The result is that the sending kermit is hanging and the terminal i beeping until stopped by ^C. Looking in the log shows that the Send Initiate packet has been transmitted and acknowledged. I also tried the following commands: Receiving system: kermit -qik | tar xf - Sending system: tar cf - | kermit -qil /dev/... -b ... -s - This time the transfer almost succeeded but the last 2560 bytes of the transmission got lost. The sending system is a 4.2 BSD system and the receiving system is a Genix system. Is there anyone that have had the same problem and found out why this happens and (hopefully) have a solution. -- Stefan Kristensson ENEA DATA Sweden UUCP: {seismo,decvax,philabs}!{mcvax,ukc,unido}!enea!stkr ARPA: decvax!mcvax!enea!stkr@berkeley.arpa mcvax!enea!stkr@seismo.arpa
