$I am trying to use Procomm v2.4.2 to down-load files from a VAX785 running
$BSD 4.3 UNiX here to a XT. I am using Kermit on the VAX and attempting to use
$the Kermit protocol in Procomm with no success. All I get are "exchanging 
$parameters" and "packet resent" messages until I abort the attempt. I have

   I've never tried picking the Kermit option after PgUp or PgDn.  The way
I use Kermit on our machine here is to put the Unix machine into kermit
server mode (our command is kermit, then at kermit's prompt you type server),
and then use Procomm Plus' Alt-K kermit server (I don't know if 2.4.2 has
this or not) to send and receive files.  Works like a charm, other than the
inherent slowness of Kermit ...
