[comp.dcom.modems] file transfers via kermit

Hi,

I often transfer uuencoded files from our mainframe (VAX) to my pc (AT),
via kermit. Many times the file passes incorrectly with a very specific
error: One of the lines comes out larger by four characters and a few
lines later another line comes out shorter by four characters.

I would like to know what is the cause of this phenomenon and how can one
avoid it (or correct it, once it occured). I am using Microcom AX/2400c modem
and work under MNP class 5.

Thanks for any advice,
