I have a Unix PC7300 and am running C-Kermit 4E(072) 24 Jan 89. It is a royal pain. The screen control is a problem. I am coupled on a LAN at 9600 baud but the screen display seems to run at about the same as a 1200 baud connection. The screen also is not "still", but shimmys as though the power supply were going out. I am pretty sure that it is Kermit that causes this last problem because it never happens when I am working locally, only when remote. The final problem is with file transfers. When I send a file from a remote machine to my PC I get the file, and it is all there without any garbage, but something is sending characters to the remote machine and, when I reconnect to the remote machine after the file transfer I get screen after screen of error messages from the remote kermit server. This happens when I run a send/receive file transfer or run the file server mode. Many times it does me the additional favor of logging me out on the remote machine. Any suggestions? Is there a better version of kermit that I can run or is there other communications software available for this machine that works better? HELP! thanks, bj --
