Greetings...
Is anyone out there as frustated with VM Kermit as I am? I have tried Diga!
and VT100 (ver. 2.8) and neither have worked. On both I can upload fine, but
when I try to download (from the VM/CMS to my 2000) VT100 gives me "timeout
error searching for character". Diga! works fine on the FIRST download, but
each subsequent time I get the dreaded timeout error again. I have made sure
the max packets match, am using transparent mode (text mode is worse), and
have tried the server mode. Someone please help!!! Does anyone know if
A-TALK III works? If it helps, the version of VM/CMS Kermit I am forced to
use is 2.01 (May 1985).

I suggest you obtain Handshake. The latest version is 2.12A, and includes the best Kermit implementation I know of for the Amiga. I have never had any problems with it.

I think I'd suspect the mainframe Kermit rather than the one in your
terminal emulator. I use Kermit regularly between my A1000 and VMS Kermit
(sorry, I don't know what version) and have no difficulties. I've used VT100
(v 2.6), VT100jrbII, VLT, etc. and have always had a reliable connection at
1200 baud.
Surely there's a more recent version of Kermit available for VM/CMS.
Does your CC staff know about the Kermit server available through BITNET?

I just recieved version 1.3 (newest) and it supports use of external protocols. Plus it comes with an enhanced Kermit protocol. Jim Martin
