Has anyone had any problems with Proterm's Kermit protocol? When I needed to upgrade my version of kermit I d/l a BINSCII'd version of kermit, BINSCII barfed saying there was a bad CRC. I retried the d/l, same results..bad CRC from Binscii. Next, I had an old text file that I hadn't unbinscii'd, binscii unpacked it just fine so the binscii side is okay. Is PROterm's kermit a true Kermit? Mike...Ya know it! Taxman@Drycas Taxman@Drycas.Club.Cc.Cmu.Edu Drycas::Taxman !Uunet!Drycas.Club.Cc.Cmu.Edu!Taxman How can ya dis me when ya don't even know me?

Almost never with our Solbourne system (it would be nuts to use kermit when you could use x or ymodem), but several times a week with our IBM mainframe. I've never had a problem. Could it be that maybe you have something configured wrong on the remote kermit? Or maybe an early version of ProTERM? I'm using v2.1 so I guess I cant speak for 2.0 or lower.
