On the subject of kermits and ST's...

I also use the Uniterm Kermit to transfer to and from my ST.  it works fine wit
h VAX computer systems, however weird, VERY WEIRD stuff happens with Unix sys-
tems, both System V and 4.3bsd.  It works fine transferring text files, but
gives a potpourri of errors with binary files.  This DOES NOT HAPPEN ON VAXES!
  Ther really weird bit about the erros is that if you set the maximum allowabl
e number of erros high enough, it eventually succeeds in transferring the block
s it has trouble with.  I have no idea why this happens.....

Has anyone else figured this one out...
