I have solved part of my Kermit problems. I have been attempting to use an Apple IIGS with a Super Serial Card and a Hayes Smartmodem 2400 to contact a Telebit Trailblazer Plus modem and Sun Sparc at the office. As I was reading the ZLink documentation it mentioned the Super Serial Card switch settings, esp. S2-7 must be on, so I figured I'd give it a try with Kermit. I took out the Super Serial Card manual and reference card and could not find what the combination with S2-7 on and S1-6 and S1-7 on was. It showed each of S2-7 on while S1-6or7 (i can't remember which) off and vice versa. Never both on. While I was at it I upped the Baud swicthes from 300 to 19200 which probably is bypassed in software, since I have been successfully tranferring/communicating at 1200 and 2400 for a long time. This switch setting now allows me to connect every time (all of my other comm. programs AppleWorks GS, ZLink, TalkIsCheap, Software,... had no problem with the old switch settings). But when I attempt to put the C-Kermit on the Sun in a send or on server mode and get the GS to receive, the statistics just sit there timing out. No transfer. What could be the problem. Will a serial cable from the built-in modem port help (instead of using the Super Serial Card)? -- Max Heffler internet: max@lgc.com Landmark Graphics Corp. uucp: ..!uunet!lgc!max 333 Cypress Run, Suite 100 phone: (713) 579-4751 Houston, Texas 77094

This might be worth looking into. There are several other parameters that must be set correctly for file xfer only. I like to make a hard copy of my local settings and then a hard copy of the remote's settings. You might want to use one of your other software programs to capture the remotes settings. Then set your version of Kermit to those parameters and save it. ******************************************************************** * * * bob church bchurch@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu * * * * If economics isn't an "exact" science why do computers crash * * so much more often than the stock market? * * bc * ********************************************************************

Parity, etc. do not seem to be the problem with my kermit problems. I believe I have a handshake problem because of the XON/XOFF and other handshaking from our terminal server. Until they get hardware handshaking working (using a cable with more connections), I believe I will continue to have kermit and x/y/zmodem problems. -- Max Heffler internet: max@lgc.com Landmark Graphics Corp. uucp: ..!uunet!lgc!max 333 Cypress Run, Suite 100 phone: (713) 579-4751 Houston, Texas 77094
