Exactly the same here. Through various strange machination I discovered 
that our VAXes had both Kermit and Xmodem. Out of 6 programs for 2 
machines, ONLY Uniterm's Kermit is able to transfer binaries. The only 
Kermit I have for the Amiga does not transfer correctly, and ABSOLUTELY 
NONE of the Xmodems will work. I must say I was surprised to read that 
it had bugs, since it's the only one which works for me...
