<yummy line eater poison> I am trying to use PROCOMM with a UNIX system for kermit transfers. Unless I do an 'stty cs8' and switch Procomm to 8 bits, I can't get kermit to transfer binary data (in spite of 'set file type binary'). Does anyone know if this is possible with Procomm. BTW, Fido also has this problem (assumption of an 8 bit line). Alan Davis ..hplabs!hpscda!aland ---- All opinions are those of my stuffed puffin.

You don't mention what version of PROCOMM you are using... anything lower than 2.4.x is doomed to failure... Assuming a current version, the host (UNIX) kermit has to be set to file-type binary and parity even. An easy way to do this is to create a file called .kermrc in your home directory containing any commands you want kermit to execute EVERY time you invoke it. -- ==================================================== | Fortiter in re, || Bill Fischer | | suaviter in modo. || ...ihnp4!chinet!wmf | ====================================================
