Following various suggestions I received on getting Kermit running on
my DN10000 running BSD 4.3 under SR10.1, I got the apollo-kermit
distribution from labrea.stanford.edu.  I can't get it to work. It
builds fine on the 10000, using "make bsd", and I get the C-kermit
prompt, and the response to help queries, etc. looks OK.  It won't
transfer files though.  When I tell it to Receive, I get the prompt
to escape back to local mode and send the file, but when I do this
on my Mac using Kermit under Versaterm pro, nothing happens.  The
file transfer never gets initiated.  Same happens with Send.  The
Macintosh kermit I am using works fine with the C-kermit built on
tank (an ELXSI running BSD 4.x), and the comm settings revealed by
"show" on tank are the same as for my apollo-kermit, except that
the maximum packet length on apollo kermit is listed as 32768 for
send or receive (vs 1024 and 2048 on tank).  Any idea of what is
going on?  It seems like somehow the DN10000 is never getting the
message from my Mac kermit that the file transfer is ready to go.
Has anybody successfully used this kermit on a DN10000 under 10.1?
