This is a common problem, though (my students have asked this question so many times that I now include the answer in the write-up for my courses! :-). Unfortunately, I don't have the exact details handy, so this will be from memory. What you have to do is change the checksum parameter in the Kermit set-up menu. I think the default of "1-byte" checksum must be changed to "2-byte" checksum. It may be the other way around, though.

ZCOMM has supported Long Packet Kermit for just over a year now. The block size can be as much as 1000 bytes. PibTerm also supports Long Packet Kermit. On ZCOMM, Kermit downloads are automatic, including proper selection of parity/quoting.
