I have posted this to comp.protocols.kermit but I hope I can get an answer ASAP... Sorry for the inconvenience.. To all Kermit and IBM VM/CMS and MVS/TSO gurus! I'm trying to get kermit up and running between a UNIX-PC and an IBM VM/CMS mainframe. I need to use the tty mode of CMS and am running into the Mainframe through a COMTEN comm. controller. The problem is this: I set the kermit on my UNIX-PC for no flow control, half duplex, Turnaround I think is HEX 11. ( What ever it is the M/F and UNIX-PC agree ). I get the file transfer started. The file header is passed and the file goes zipping off to the Mainframe. 27 or 28 packets later the transfer packs up.. It seems to happen at the same time each transfer. A portion of the debug log follows. ----------------------------- Debug Log [C-Kermit, 4E(070) 29 Jan 88] AT&T System III/System V Mon Jan 16 14:52:38 1989 .... file transfer begins .... .... still ok .... ttol[};D#M#J#M#J--#M#JPhil Kemp#M#JBoeing Computer Services, Calgary#M#JVoice - (403)-269-8281#M#J- myread read=17 ttinl[#;YY input[]=89 conchk=0 canned: cxseen=0 czseen=0 ttol[}<Dbcscal!phil@calgary.uucp#M#J#M#JFrom To:lori Mon Dec 12 22:28:29 1988#M#JDate: Mon, 12 Dec? myread read=17 ttinl[#<YZ input[]=89 conchk=0 canned: cxseen=0 czseen=0 ttol[}=D 88 22:28:29 MST#M#JTo: lori#M#JSubject: Hi there Gorgeous!#M#J#M#JHi! just thought I'd wrM myread read=17 ttinl[#=Y[ input[]=89 conchk=0 canned: cxseen=0 czseen=0 ttol[}>Dite you a note and say( text deleted ) .... something is wrong with this next packet .... myread read=17 ttinl[#>Y checked chars[#>Y] block check=95 should be=60 input[]=81 conchk=0 ttol[}>Dite you a note and say( text deleted ) resend[}>Dite you a note and say( text deleted ) Well any help would be appreciated... We are looking at the ASCII/EBCDIC translation tables on our IBM as there appears to be some proprietary mods in our CMS. Please let me know, by e-mail, if anyone has gotten kermit to work on vanilla CMS, and what tricks if any you had to use. ie. Kermit settings on UNIX or the kermit startup and profile files on CMS. Also if anyone could shed any light on why this is failing at this point please also let me know. Many thanks. This one has been a heck of a thing to work out.. If you prefer to talk over the phone E-mail your phone and I'll call you.
