Yes, I know that this version is a beta version, but since someone on the net had said how virtually flawless it was, I'd post my finding here. It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get the Kermit to emulate Even parity. The IBM 3081 here at U. of Texas is very fussy and its front-end converter (ASCII to to EBCDIC) requires EVEN and EVEN ONLY (its caps). I've tried everything, setting the parity in "Communications..." outright, changing them, saving them to a Settings file and double clicking on the settings file... Does anyone know when the next update to this version will be? The support of the new keyboards is only one of my favorite features. Thanks in advance! --chris

Down here at UTSA we have problems with that front-end converter when we try to run Kermit in Yale-Ansi VT100 emulation. To use kermit, we must go to LINE mode (Yeeeck!) to do a file transfer. I'm not sure how ya'll are set up there, but I have heard that this is a common problem (Matter of fact, some genius up there FIXED the problem, and we're waiting on him to send the update on the controlling software for that front-end Micom!) Try going to line mode and then transferring. It might help. As far as the next update on the Kermit, I dunno. Anyone check CUVMA lately? --Gary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- USENET: gatech!petro!atrium!eckhgb "Thanks to modern caffeine,BITNET: account under construction sleep is now optional!"

This includes the not-so-famous version 35 and of course the 34 version. I still think it's the new (36) kermit. /---------------------------------v------------------------------\ ( J.
