I've used kermit implementations painlessly on my 800xl, macs, pcs, Unix workstations, and IBM mainframes, but I can't get Kermit65 to talk kermit (specifically, to a Sun-3 under SunOS 3.4). I tell kermit65 > send "d:hmwk5" and it does a disk access and then silently returns its prompt. I tell it simply > send and it claims to be sending out packets (containing god knows what), but it can't get the other kermit to recognize them, no matter whether the other kermit is in server mode kermit -x or simply receive mode kermit -r . What's the deal?

Subject: Re: kermitting with Kermit 65....
No, it's not a filename problem; even when I try to get kermit65
to receive, and I can see the sending (remote) kermit's packets
on the RECEIVE DETECT l.e.d. of my modem, it still doesn't work.
I'm convinced I'm doing something wrong in the sequence of
commands to kermit65, but even with my MS in computer science
I can't figure out what. My gut feeling, however, is that
when I OPTION to Break the connection (the only way to get
the kermit65 command prompt), I've preveneted kermit65 from
talking to the other kermit. But the only way I know to
re-establish the connection is to interrupt the kermit65
kermit operation. Could someone post a complete sequencing
of the keystrokes used to do a send (or a receive) with
kermit65? Thanks for your patience.
