It seems that at least three out of four times that I try to
download something kermit stops it because of a write error to the
disk drive. And half the time that the tranfer completes, the file
still has one or more bad sectors in it. I'm using kermit 3.97 with a
super serial card and a Franklin Ace 1000. I download from either a
Sun 4/20 or a Pyramid 9825 both running ckermit. the modem runs at
2400 baud, either with or without MNP 4. It doesn't seem to matter
which combination of the above hardware and software is involved.
Anybody seen something like this and, perhaps, know how to fix it?

I'd be tempted to check ou the Franklin rather than blame Kermit. I download with Kermit all the time and have yet to have that kind of error. I am downloading at 1200 baud so that might be the difference, but you are getting disk write errors which would bet are the drive's problem. -- Bill Carss bill@braille.uwo.ca
