I also kept getting a protocol error, using VMS Kermit.  I switched to C Kermit,
and that went away; I can do ASCII transfers easily, although binary transfers
still fail, probably because C Kermit insists upon sending the length of the VMS
file used to store the binary object, rather than the length it originally
received from the 48.

Try other Kermits (as well as the suggestion another poster made to try 7-bit
mode).  If you can't find a version that works, send me mail; I'll see if I can
get a version of C Kermit to you.
