Yes, no problem although I am using Procomm Plus.  Ensure that you set the file
type to binary at the VAX end.  A better solution would be to get a hold of
Zmodem for your 785.  That is what I use now and it is much quicker than
Kermit.  If you must use kermit then try to use C-kermit which allows you to
increase the size of the packets so the overhead is not quite as high.
