I remember the first time I was introduced to kermit, about 5 years ago and I haven't been able to live without it since.... Well, 1. the parity on both ends have to match.... 2. the receive and send packet lengths have to match.... 3. you can sometimes get away with having different file types set on both ends but most of the time they have to match... 4. finally, depending on how fast the vax responses, you may have to set a delay time, otherwise your micro-kermit will not catch the first initialization packet that the vax sends out and it will just sit there..... (on unix you usually do a <sleep :duration:> command, but on vax you should be able to set that parameter.... that's the basic troubleshooting routine there....hope that helps.. ___________________________________________________________ ( -->> Eudoh@sctnve.bitnet <<-- Cyber Lab Consultant ) ( Computer Operations ) ( //!\\ \\\\\\\\ Southern College of Technology ) ( // \\ !! ) ( //!!!!!\\ //////// \\ Etop Udoh \\ ) ( // \\ !! \\ - A2 - \\ ) ( // \\ \\\\\\\\ ) ( Sometimes you just gotta say "what the f*ck" ) (___________________________________________________________)
