I'd like to do some simple file-transfer between my MS-DOS box and my mac,
so I decided to use kermit. I've sucessfully used it between two macs
over serial lines.

But I cannot get anything to happen between a mac and PC. All the settings
(speed, parity, handshake, flow control, favorite liquor) are the same on
the two platforms, but nothing comes accross.

I have a feeling the PC kermit might be sensing lack of dtr, but don't know
how to disable this.
Or perhaps it's a bigend-littleend problem???

both machines work properly - I'm typing this from the MSDOS box....

anybody have any ideas???

Please reply via net mail.
