Hello, A long, long time ago I asked for help in transferring files using Kermit. My problem was, after receiving like one or three packages, Kermit went into an endless retries. People suggest changing parity, handshake, stop bit, packet-length, etc. Well, changing packet-length worked for awhile, until I tried to download files above 100K in size. Then Kermit will hang, not only that, for every packet receive, Kermit had to do two retries. A week ago I found out the culprit. It is the cute, little, innocent looking clock that I have ticking away at the upper right hand side of my screen. It interrupts kermit every second(?), causing kermit to lost its packets. Another TSR program that give me some trouble is BACKSCROOL, it causes the cursor to be placed at wrong position. No other TSR program I have caused any problem once I removed this two. For those who asked, you can get Kermit from anonymous ftp to cu20b.columbia.edu under WS2:<KERMIT>. Get the file MSSAAAHLP or something like that which will tell you all the files you need. Thank you for all who responded. sugih jamin
