I set kermit to binary and Uniterm 2.0d (also tried "kermit.prg") and finally remembered to set the net I have to go through to access my Unix system to binary too. Get bad chksums all the time on Qst16d.arc. Is there more to know? I run 8N1 and have no control flow when trying to do binary downloads. Email responses if this is too trivial for the net. Thanks, Bob Pegram (pegram@griffin.uvm-gen.uvm.edu - hope that works, I haven't figured out all these addressing schemes yet. RBPIII.)
