I am attempting to use C-Kermit on a Sun to transfer files to and from
a remote Mac, without success.  I use RedRyder to dial up the UNIX site,
going via a net transfer from an MTS account because only the MTS has datapac
and the regular phone is long distance. (Because of all this I have to say I'm
an LA120 terminal!)  Once on the UNIX account, I can do some things, but not 
others -- worry about that another time.
	I fire up Kermit on the remote (Sun) and tell it Send MyFile, then
pull down receive Kermit on the RedRyder menu.  A dialog box flashes
briefly on the screen with the message that the first block (or segment, or
whatever) is/has been transferred successfully, and then just as quickly a
new box comes up informing me that the file transfer was unsuccessful. I
click OK (nothing else to do) and get to watch the remote Kermit put
various characters on my screen for a while, then finally give up.  What
obvious (to all of you) thing am I doing wrong -- or is it the roundabout
way I get there that causes the problem.
Thanks
