    Kermit does parity checking and most other terminal programs do
not.  If Kermit does not work for you, but other terminal programs
often do, you probably have a parity problem.

    If Kermit receives a character with bad parity, you will be beeped
at and the character will not be displayed.  (Are you being beeped at?)

    Remember that if you set parity to none, you should set word-size
to eight, otherwise, you should set word-size to seven.  Many other
terminal programs will not support non-standard word-sizes so this
parameter is often overlooked.
