I'm having trouble getting a file via Kermit from this system for my bbs. I am using Telix 3.12 for my terminal program and have it set for 7 bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. I'm trying to use the Kermit protocol included with Telix. I'm using a Practical Peripherals 2400 MNP5 modem. I believe I'm not setting something properly on the remote side's Kermit which happens to lack the man pages for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. (Please don't tell me I need a synchronous modem to complete the transfer. heh.) --Tim C (

Excuse me, but 2 stop bits went away when cave-dwellers discovered 300 baud. Try 8-N-1. What you also haven't mentioned is what version of kermit you have on the other side. Have you tried "real" kermit from Columbia on your micro? (Everything is suspect...) (Also, make sure MNP is turned off... MNP and transfer protocols have a way of fighting with each other.) -=EPS=-

The server I am using uses BSD's Kermit, dated Sept. 87. I haven't acquired the 'real' Kermit yet. I managed to get my file by uuencoding it and logging the output to a file. Fortunately I didn't encounter any line noise... heh. I think that Telix's Kermit is the problem, but I don't have any experience with Kermit. Well, thanks again for everyone's help. --Tim

You shoudn't turn off MNP, ever (unless you're connecting to non-MNP modems), and especially when transferring files. You might want to turn off MNP compression (so you're using MNP class 4, not 5). If you're transferring files that are already compressed, MNP class 5 may take longer than class 4 to transfer a file. We have also run into occational problems with MNP5 dropping some characters, but that's almost always due one of the modems being connected to a system that doesn't support hardware flow control, and can't use XON/XOFF flow control without conflicts with binary file transfers. MNP4 has never given us any problems, with any file transfer protocol (x/y/zmodem, kermit, uucp). MNP. Don't dialout from home without it!

Well considering that I can't even connect to the supposed 9600 baud modems at higher than 1200 baud, I won't need to worry about MNP. heh. I usually have my modem set at \N3 so I can let the modem figure out if the remote modem supports MNP for me. To all that might send mail to me about my little Kermit problem: I'm leaving for Florida in a couple of days so I won't be responding to any mail for a week or so. Thanks for your help. --Tim
