Pro KERMIT is actually RSX Kermit; there are conditionals in the code which make it recognize that it is running on a Professional rather than a PDP-11. The current version is T3.60 (with long packet support) which is available free from the RSX bulletin board system at (612) 777-7664. T3.60 works correctly on a Pro380 under P/OS 3.2 and under RSX-11M-Plus V4 and higher - I'm using it now in terminal emulation as a matter of fact. There are no problems with moving files from VMS to RSX using this version. If you have T3.60, and still encounter problems, try SET ATTRIBUTE OFF before transferring. Many VMS Kermits do not recognize attribute packets.

T3.60 works correctly on a Pro380 under P/OS 3.2 and under <<<<remainder of post omitted>>>> I use a Pro-380 and have P/OS 3.1 but the only comm software I have is Pro/Comm. What communications protocols does this RSX BBS support? Does it support Pro-to-Pro file transfer protocol, which is the only protocol other than ASCII that Pro/Comm has? There is a version of Kermit available via ftp from Columbia which is described as PDP-11 kermit but runs on a Professional also. Do you know if this is the same RSX kermit? -- Chaim Dworkin (chaim@eniac.seas.upenn.edu)
