   It is difficult to pinpoint the problem because there are so many
variables to the equation, but these problems DO occur in some
configurations even if other users may experience no problems at
all.  Especially if the connection is through another machine and/or
a server such problems are more likely.  The answer is to experiment
with different settings.  Just to start with try the different
parieties and 7/8 bits even if there is no guarantee that this alone
will solve your problem.  One (almost) sure way of getting kermit
transfers to work is naturally using MsKermit terminal emulation. 
Another thing which you might attempt (even if this sometimes also
involves serious problems) is using z-modem transfers.  Telix has it
inbuilt, and Unix end-of-things z-modem is available from ftp sites
such as Simtel20 and ours. 
   Telix is a very useful program, but no communication program is
entirely free from problems.  The choice varies from purpose to
purpose, and from environment to environment.  Telix' best features
are its inbuilt z-modem, its user friendliness, and its fast script
language.  But its host mode is not as good as eg that of Procomm,
and it is not as robust and flexible in terminal emulation as eg
MsKermit. 

   Quite another thing.  As for people castigating our moderator for
the Telix posting and sending rude messages to Bill.  Have some
manners and consideration, will you!  And put things in perspective.
