Is it possible to set the timeout in Kermit.  When dealing with networked
stuff, you generally nead longer timeouts than if, for instance, you were
connected to a local BBS or something.  Anyway, can kermit be set to
receive batch?  I usually use ProTERM, because I can type "send *" or some-
thing and then tell ProTERM to receive batch.  But the problem is that many
times, proterm times out too quickly and aborts the whole thing.  Lately,
things have been worse, because some grad. students here have been running
parallel processing experiments on our Sequent... these make it completely
halt in its tracks for up to a minute at times.  This is really a pain when
you're trying to transfer a large file.

Anybody have any ideas?  I know the Sequent side is no problem, because the
time-out there is set to 5 minutes or something.  Thanks!  :-)
