[net.micro.atari] Kermit problems

abrams@MITRE.ARPA (Marshall D. Abrams) (01/12/86)

I have completely struck out trying to use Kermit from my Atari
to a UNIX system.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Atari Kermit is contained in Chameleon.  For TAC transparency
I used @I N. I found that the @B O S and @B I S sequence left me with
a hung terminal.

Kermit send from UNIX to Atari worked until the Atari did disk output.
Apparently the UNIX Kermit just kept on sending. When the Atari
returned from outputting,  I saw what must have been Kermit packets
on the screen. Eventually, the UNIX Kermit timed out.

Optomistically, I tried sending from the Atari to UNIX. The resultant
file was almost empty.


Sincerely,
