[comp.windows.ms] WNQVT and KERMIT

I have been downloading from a Sequent using Procomm and Kermit, and everything
works fine.  Then I switched to Unicom, and Kermit still works fine. 
However, both programs were using a very small packet size (about 40
bytes) and because of various Inetrnet delays, the throughput was very slow.

Then I tried WNQVT.  It ran with a packet size of about 1K, or maybe 700
bytes, and the throughput was about three times faster.  However, all of
my files came up scrambled.  

Yes, I am sure I checked the BINARY option when doing the kermit
download.  Does anyone know what went wrong? 

-Thanks
