I'm answering Linda Rising via info-ada so others may find the
information useful.
I use Kermit MS on an IBM PC at 1200 baud. I dial in to a TAC{_,
login to the computer and then give 2 sets of commands, set 1 to the
TAC and set 2 to the Kermits at both ends.
set1:
<at sign><F><space><O><space><S><return> --says to TAC to start flow
--control in the out direction-The <at sign>is shift 2 on your pc keyboard,
--I don't use it here because it is the TAC intercept character
--and might mess up what I'm typing here.
<at sign><F><space><I><space><S><return> --says to TAC to start flow
--control in the in direction
<at sign><I><space><6><return> -- says to TAC to change the intercept
--character (from at si{n) to decimal 6 which is control F. Hereafter
--in the session if you wish to talk to the TAC you must use control F
--instead of at sign.
set 2:
--Tell Kermit on your PC and at the remote the following:
set sen pac 58 --set send packet size 58 bytes- longer may choke TAC
set rec pac 58 --set receive packet size same as send packet size
set retry pac 60 --set retry packet size 60, no I don't know why
--it's not 58. Also my Kermit MS will not accept
--this command but Kermit at NOSC-TECR will accept it and it seems to
--work.
--All the above works reliably between my pc and NOSC-TECR. It is
--a composite of answers I received when I asked the same question
--Linda is now asking plus some hacking with Kermit. Rotsa Ruck!
