I have found that Telix's Kermit won't do 8th-bit prefixing over a 2400,7,E,1
connection. This could be Ferris' problem. I have never seen another 
Kermit implementation that can't handle this with the C-Kermit on
our ecsvax home system. If you try it, the transfer just times out on
both ends.

 A 7-bit connection is convenient (and a habit) because of the floating
8th-bit our system uses. Telix allows high bit stripping, so its not
really necessary to connect at 7E1. Telix kermit works fine with C-Kermit
if I use 8N1, ie. - No prefixing required. I am really surprised that
no one else has mentioned this lack in Telix, otherwise a FINE program.
I thought I was just doing something wrong - maybe I am ... ?
