I'm having some problems with MSKermit 3.0 that I was hoping that
people could shed some light on.  I'm using Kermit in server mode
to answer the modem and process file transfer commands to and from
a Novell Netware drive.

The kermit server is started off of the Netware drive (say, F:),
reads the mskermit.ini file there, and waits for dialins from the
local modem.  Remote systems call in and issue 'get' and 'send'
commands of the following forms:

	 send foo /bar/zap/foo

	 get
	 /bar/zap/foo
	 /tmp/foo2

Note that there are no drives specified.  This should attempt to
send the file 'foo' to the path 'F:\bar\zap\foo'.  And the second
command should retrieve the same file.

What happens is that kermit begins the transfer and aborts out with
either "File not found" or "Rejecting file: File size" errors on the
PC side.  This only happens when trying to access a network drive.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?  I can find nothing
in the documentation (for 2.32/A, 3.00 doc isn't out yet, is it?) to
explain what could be going wrong.

Please reply by email, I'll summarize if there is enough interest.

Thanks in advance.

Chris
