I am experiencing some difficulty with
kermit 1.7 and parity. Even parity and a
seven bit word allows communication but
produces a partial, illegible display.
This is true with modem dialogue and
host communication. Other programs do
not fail with these settings leading me
to believe parity is not handled correctly
with kermit 1.7 Hav others experienced this?
Solutions?
The other kermit, 1.5, seems incomplete.
Following is the last 78 nybbles:

The last 2 bytes is the instruction
BPL 743A
at address 7400. Can anyone who has a
more complete version of 1.5 complete
these data?

Has anyone have the new kermit version 2.0???
I have tried to download it from kermsrv@cuvma, but it takes up 91
blocks on my cms logon. That is much too long, it requires more storage than
one 1541 disk drive can handle. Do I have the wrong program?
The one I have been trying to download is c64v2 m65. Also if anyone has
succesfully downloaded it, what assembler did you use. I don't recognize
the format that its in.
Please Send E-mail to NU020520 at NDSUVM1
Thank You in advance!

I am looking for a public domain version of KERMIT for the C64 or C128. If anyone knows of a good one, please send me E-mail. I am trying to download files from our VAX, and xmodem doesn't seem to work too well. Any help would be appreciated.

Oliver Wendell Holmes I have a copy of a public domain Kermit that I consider very good. There is only one hangup, when uploading/downloading it uses true ascii and when you put it on the disk drive it is still true ascii, so that you must convert the text files, once that is done everything is ok. I resolved that by writing my own sequential file convertor. If you give me your address I could make you a copy of Kermit and toss in the convertor and some extra kermit docs that I have hanging around that would help you. P.S. It is for the 64.

Does anyone know if kermit 2.0 will work with a 1660 (300 baud commodore) modem? I have tried but the 1660 needs to be taken off hook first, and kermit doesn't do it. I really need a good vt100, preferably with kermit. Which this one has. So any help would be GREATLY appreciated. thanx

I have been having problems with the Kermit for my TRS Model IV recently, and shrugged it off as a bad copy of Kermit. Now, I have Kermit for the C=64 and that is giving me the same problem: Kermit will NOT acknowledge the "checksum" from the mainframe. If I want to send or receive anything, I have to hit return after every packet. That is quite annoying with small files, and I don't want to go through this in the near future when my files get larger. Any suggestions? Is there some setting that I missed on the Kermit.ini file??

I am not at a site that has FTP capabilities, and my local BBSs are of no help, so... If anyone has a copy of the latest Kermit software (discussed here recently, 80 columns, 'normal' terminal emulation), I'd like to request a copy. I am willing to reimburse for media, postage, and trouble, if necessary. Please forward e-mail to this address. Thanks in advance, Joe Lynn

It is: Dr. Evil Laboratories P.O.

In actuality, there is no phone number that you can order Kermit through. Kermit is a public domain program that is available from several anonymous FTP sites, through several BBS's (I know I have it on my BBS, and have seen it on other BBS's local to me.) I have also heard that Kermit is available on Q-Link also. I got mine through a user uploading it to my board. (Like the gentleman going through the Mac, UUencoded files (actually the binary) files didn't go through the THREE computers I tried copying through. I interemed in an IBM and an Epson PX-10 portable before getting it to the Commodore. All in all, my suggestion for getting kermit would be to: 1. Check your local BBS's, and ASK. I asked, and one of my users found. Ask, and your local SysOp, or another user may have a copy hidden away. 2. Check Q-Link, if you are on it. 3. You can call my BBS. If you send me mail with a password and a handle, I will set up an account and give you enough credits to DL the program. (The phone bill will be your problem though!) All in all, I don't see why number 1 won't work. Most C64 users I have found are realy helpful in getting software. Also, if you don't have an account, usually another user on a local BBS does and will call and download the program for you. Basically, 3 is a very last resort.

Yes, Kermit has a VT100/VT102 emulator built right into the program. To use this, type set term vt100 at the Kermit prompt. Use the termcap included somewhere earlier in this newsgroup. Stan

Does anyone out there know if there is a reliable version of Kermit for the 128? I got a version from Dr. Evil Labs through the mail, but I get all kinds of garbage on the screen when I use it, and this also makes file transfering useless. I use it at 1200 baud and I am sure I have the parity etc. set properly. Has anyone else experienced this behavior, or did I get a bum copy? The only other thing I thought is that I have an older 128, and maybe kermit has problems with the older ones (I got it soon after they hit the market). Any help will be appreciated. Todd Lockemer

Can you provide more detail as to your hardware configuration and what system(s) you are communicating with? If you had gotten a "bum copy", it shouldn't work at all, not just screw up in Connect mode. Also, we are not aware of any incompatibilities with older C-128s. The only hardware trouble we have seen is when a 1351 mouse (or similar device) is plugged in--the keyboard often gets weird.

Can you > provide more detail as to your hardware configuration and what system(s) you > are communicating with? Well, as I said I have one of the older 128s, a 1571 disk drive, a Lt. Kernal 40 meg HD, a US Robotics Direct 1200 modem, and a couple printers. I have tried using the bare essentials, i.e. the 128, 1571, and modem with all else disconnected, and I get the same problems. I am connecting to a VAX/VMS system which has a dialback security system. I call and give my security, it calls back and I login. Most of the time this part goes smoothly but sometimes I have problems. At any rate, I get what looks like characters caused due to a noisy line mixed in with and/or instead of the transmitted text. I have tried switching parity, stop bit, etc. to different configurations, but then I get absolutely nothing. I don't have these problems with my VT-100 emulator, but I cannot transfer files with that since the VAX doesn't support X-modem (or if it does, I haven't been able to invoke it). The only thing I have been able to surmise is that possibly somehow the modifications done for the Lt. Kernal are responsible, but this would be the only case of this I have ever seen; supposedly when the Kernal is disabled, the 128 is suppose to work normally. It would be nice to finally get Kermit working, and I appreciate that you have responded. I hope it is something resolvable. Todd Lockemer BTW: In case it is at all significant, I have version 2.1 of Kermit.

Well, I have unfortunately never used Kermit (any version) with a Lt. Kernal HD. I think that the Kernal "host adapter" asserts new ROMs into the memory map, so there is a chance that Kermit doesn't like something about that... otherwise, it sounds like you have tried all the things I would have tried. I have used Kermit with a lot of different modems on a lot of different C-64/128s, and have never had a repeatable garbage problem, except that the "Zoom" brand modem refused to cooperate at 2400 bps (I have heard it called "cheap", so maybe that was the problem! ;-). >It would be nice to finally get Kermit working, and I appreciate that you have >responded.

It might be significant; I can't remember what problems (if any) we had with v2.1. The current version is 2.2. I guess you got this copy from us quite some time ago? (2.2 has been out since 1988, I think.) I recommend that you try to locate a copy of 2.2 and see if that fixes the problem. It can be obtained via anonymous FTP from the C-64 archives, and is probably still on maxwell.physics.purdue.edu in pub/kermit (or something similar path-wise). If you want to get it from good old Doc Evil, send me email and I'll send you the details.
