Stupid question time: I've been using vlt (3.656) for a few weeks, and have used its kermit to download literally megabytes of data from the local VM machine and a VMS Vax. Last night was the first time I've needed to upload anything, but I didn't anticipate any trouble. heh. I was unable to transfer any data, but did manage to hang my connections to each machine at least once (forcing the 'idle process killer' on both machines to log me off). I dug out my copy of vt100 2.8a, and was easily able to kermit piles of stuff to both machines. Now, I've read the vlt manual, and I've used kermit for years. Have I missed something that's right in front of my nose? Or is there a known problem? I _thought_ I had tried everything that seemed sensible. :-( -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Think I'll stay in bed Rick Pim, Physics Department Dream all day Queen's University, Kingston World outside bugs me anyway. rick@qucdnast.bitnet

I don't know if this is of any help, but I've found a similar problem trying to upload to VAX Kermit from Diga. i.e. when I tell Diga to send, it just locks up and I end up having to reboot to regain control. The solution I've found is to tell VAX Kermit to send a file to the Amiga (I just send a tiny .COM file I have lying around). This seems to alter some parameters in VAX Kermit, matching it to Diga. After this, I can just type RECEIVE and then tell Diga to send as many files as I like, and everything gets transferred just fine. If you exit out of KERMIT, remember to send the dummy file again the next time you enter it. -Eddy -- Eddy Carroll ----* Genuine MUD Wizard | "You haven't lived until INTER: ecarroll@cs.tcd.ie | you've died in MUD!"

Dunno why your transfers aren't working, though. My kermit transfers Amiga <-> whatever (bbs, Unix, VMS) using VLT have always been fine.
