I use an old VT100 with the remote kermit in server mode and don't have the problem you describe. However, it is not a 'BYE' command that the VT100 program sends, it is actually a 'FINISH' command, which in the kermit spec is supposed to stop the remote server and drop you to the OS level. 'BYE' is supposed to log you out in addition. With my particular setup, I have to talk to the kermit server over a seven bit link with mark parity set, and I have not found another PD comm program that will handle it as well as VT100. The other programs I've tried with kermit are VLT and HandShake. It's a pity because both VLT and HandShake do better VT100 emulation than VT100, and have more features in general. -- | ben@epmooch.UUCP (Ben Mesander) | "Cash is more important than | | ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | your mother." - Al Shugart, | | !chinet!uokmax!servalan!epmooch!ben | CEO, Seagate Technologies |

I have been using an older version of VT100 to transfer files to my local computer center (Technion, Haifa, Israel) and after completing the transfer the BYE command fails to stop Kermit. The only way for me to stop the activity is to physically hang up the line. Then when I redial to the IBM VM/CMS it is still waiting in Kermit mode and doesn't permit me to even sign on again. Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there another PD comm prog with Kermit for the Amiga? If so please let me know. Would it be possible to transfer it to me electronically? Or is it preferable to send it via regual mail on a diskette? I will be more than happy to pay postage and send a blank diskette in return. Thanks.

Yup! I have the same problem. The solution is to send another
file and give it a blank name. After Kermit complains that
the file's not found you can then successfully send the bye
command. The bug is still in the most recent version.
