Well, as I said I have one of the older 128s, a 1571 disk drive, a Lt. Kernal 40 meg HD, a US Robotics Direct 1200 modem, and a couple printers. I have tried using the bare essentials, i.e. the 128, 1571, and modem with all else disconnected, and I get the same problems. I am connecting to a VAX/VMS system which has a dialback security system. I call and give my security, it calls back and I login. Most of the time this part goes smoothly but sometimes I have problems. At any rate, I get what looks like characters caused due to a noisy line mixed in with and/or instead of the transmitted text. I have tried switching parity, stop bit, etc. to different configurations, but then I get absolutely nothing. I don't have these problems with my VT-100 emulator, but I cannot transfer files with that since the VAX doesn't support X-modem (or if it does, I haven't been able to invoke it). The only thing I have been able to surmise is that possibly somehow the modifications done for the Lt. Kernal are responsible, but this would be the only case of this I have ever seen; supposedly when the Kernal is disabled, the 128 is suppose to work normally. It would be nice to finally get Kermit working, and I appreciate that you have responded. I hope it is something resolvable. Todd Lockemer BTW: In case it is at all significant, I have version 2.1 of Kermit.
