I have found that 99.9% of all KERMIT up/downloads will work using UNITERM 2.0d if you issue a "SET DELAY n" command: whereas; n = number of seconds you think you'll need to select the SEND/RECV file and go into send/recv mode... Hope this helps SOMEONE out there.... -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dan Karbowsky kar7481@pitt!cuphub / S U P P O R T T H E S T ! ! ! | | 102 Lee Drive ___________________/Call the ATARI ELITE of PITTSBURGH'S | | Belle Vernon, PA / BBS (Forem-ST,fnet node 19) at (412) 384-5609 at 300 | | 15012 U.S.A. / thru 19.2k baud 24 hrs./day 7-days/week Mention this | | / message at logon. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ JOIN THE REVOLUTION ! ! !

I also work with a VAX (or VAXen) - an 8650 and a 750. I had problems with a few versions of Kermit when downloading binaries, due to delays in escaping to local mode and starting the receive. What worked for me was setting the VAX Kermit to server mode and using GET from Uniterm's Kermit server command menu (both Kermits having been set to binary type). I could never do that previously, as other Kermit versions (including CKermit from terminator) did not do a reliable job when taking the VAX Kermit out of server mode, but the Uniterm Kermit does so with no trouble at all. Hope this helps! --Max (no clever sig's tonight)
