Help. I'm using DBW's VT100 terminal program and cannot get the kermit
to work. I'm running 'C-Kermit' on system V Unix and attempting to
send files from the host to my amiga. I've never used Kermit before and
I am probably doing something wrong. Can someone give me a command sequence
that I should use (from both the host and from VT100) to xfer a file.
Thanx in advance
Fred Cassirer
P.S. The port selector I'm using to get to the host eats ^S/^Q's to
buffer between 9600 baud host lines and the modem's. I used
'set handshake none' and 'set flow-control none' and this did't
help. Both the host and amiga just sit there staring at each other,
I can't even cancel out of it, I have to kill VT100 to get out.rokicki@navajo.STANFORD.EDU (Tomas Rokicki) (10/20/86)

The C-Kermit supplied on the fish disks works fine, but the Kermit built in does not. No packets are getting transferred at all, so I suspect a checksum problem; handshaking shouldn't even be required for the first packet. I've even tried 300 baud just to be safe; still no go. I would be more than willing to help find the problem if someone would point me in the right direction . . . -tom "sign me up for Dave's fan club" rokicki

Both complain that they have not been able to get Kermit to work with the VT100 terminal emulator program from Dave Wecker. I just wanted to add that I downloaded the vt100 binary (V2.0 DBW 860823) (off of Compuserve: I am sure it was out on the net, but I missed the binary: I have found the sources on the net ) and have used this copy of vt100 to download files using Kermit. I am using C-Kermit on a Amdahl running system V. The C-Kermit reports this version info: C-Kermit 4C(048) 24 May 85 AT&T System III/System V -- Franco Barber ..!cbosgd!cbuxc!cblpe!feb

You might have to talk to a local guru about the ^S/^Q problem but after you've
gotten arount that:
Sending From UNIX to Amiga:
UNIX: % kermit -s filenames
AMIGA: File/Kermit Recieve (possibly a Utility/Change Dir first)
Sending From Amiga to UNIX:
UNIX: % kermit -x (enter server mode)
AMIGA: File/Kermit Send (enter filenames)
File/Kermit Bye
You should be able to start the UNIX server (kermit -x) then say Kermit Get
whatever files also....

Since the posting I have gotten C-Kermit and DBW's vt100 kermit to work fine. As soon as I got a direct connect line to my host everything flew. As I suspected, the XON/XOFF that Kermit(s) is usin' was getting swallowed by the system switch box (nts). Nts is basically a port selector that can buffer between different speed lines. What happens is nts will generate a ^S/^Q when buffering between say 9600 baud and a 1200 baud line. This normally works fine, but when kermit generates one, and nts has just issued the same one, the second one gets lost (same as doing a ^S ^S on most systems, 1st one stops I/O, 2nd one is tossed by the driver). Nts turns around and does a ^Q which starts the remote kermit sending while the other kermit isn't listenin'. So the morale of the story is: If your using a similar switch and having trouble with your kermit(s) this could be your problem, it was mine. While I'm here let me just say I've been using the vt100 program since the 1st version have found very few problems with it. I even use the 48 line interlaced feature now and then with no problems.

The C-Kermit supplied on the fish I run C-Kermit on the SUN, and it works fine with vt100. I use 8 bits data path and I turn on "CR LF" in xfer_mode (otherwise, I get CR at the end of each line). All I do is start ckermit (with defaults), and type "server", then I use vt100's "Kermit Get" under "File" menu. Works great. -- -------------------------------------- Godfrey Lee Cognos Incorporated 3755 Riverside Drive Ottawa, Ontario CANADA K1G 3N3 (613) 738-1440 decvax!utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!cognos!glee --------------------------------------
