I have been trying to do kermit 3.86 transvers to C Kermit on Ultrix 3.1 . I still am not able to get it to work. Could someone describe to me step by step how to set up a IIgs and an Ultrix session so that files can be downloaded and uploaded - binary (like .shk) type files. Thanks! I am using a IIgs, Systme 5.02. and the Kermit vt100 emulator. The types of problems that I am having is that either kermit just beeps and returns wtihout transferring, or I get an error msg about file type. kermit 3.86 will not let me change the file-type value to other and it doesnt seem to like it set to binary and then try to send across a 7 bit connection. My end is 8 bit, but I dont know how to set the ultrix side into 8 bit. -- Larry W.

You have to type 'set file-type other' followed by the hex value for the filetype. >to like it set to binary and then try to send across a 7 bit connection. >My end is 8 bit, but I dont know how to set the ultrix side into 8 bit. I transfer binary files over a 7-bit data path all the time. It takes up to twice as long, but kermit IS meant to do things like this, after all. Sounds like you need to make sure the parity is set the same on both the Ultrix and Apple sides. I can connect to the local dataswitch at 8n1 but it converts to 7e2 in order to actually connect to the computer. This gets confusing because kermit will NOT transfer files if the parity is not 'even,' even though I can do everything else just fine.
