I have also been unable to complete any file transfers using Telix's built-in version. We do have the REAL Kermit for our mainframe running in CMS. With the Kermit stand alone program I have no problem. I noticed also that when I tried to connect at n71 I could not. I don't think this is your modem however. As for using 8 data bit transmission as one user wrote this is not possible with mainframe connections that must have a 7 data bit connection. What I did was connect up at 8n1 and then switch using ALT-O to a 7n1 connection. This works fine for connection but I never found the problem with the kermit file transfers and I have a pretty good understanding of the kermit protocol. Nothing I tried worked. If someone out there is doing this I'd sure appreciate hearing from you. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next version of telix. I hate having to use stand alone kermit when I want to transfer files to and fro my schools mainframe.

My experiences with KERMIT is that it works. I use it occasionally when the switched networks start getting bogged down and zmodem won't even start. The throughput is around 56cps, but the files go through. For the most part this works with BSD, Sytem V, and something I ran into once called AOS (or was it AOS/VS) on a DG MU/10000. It also works with the KERMIT implementation in the FIDO bbs package. I leave things set at 8N1, and probably strip the high-bits (makes it easier to negotiate CompuServe and TYMNET out here in the sticks). > hearing from you.

Send a fax to Colin with some session dumps (debug mode, if possible, from the mainframe) and let him know what you find. He would appreciate some input from some intelligent, informed sources. As a registered user, you are most likely running 3.12. If not, contact EXIS and get upgraded. If you don't have FAX, just contact him through CompuServe via Internet. -- Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most...
