After seeing the discussion on the net, I decided to "test-drive" Telix
before registering my (shareware) copy of ProComm.  But I have a
question about Telix, and was hoping someone can help me.
 
In the very brief time I have used Telix, I have been generally pleased,
and am leaning toward choosing it over ProComm.  However, there is one
fairly serious problem -- I can't get Telix to do Kermit uploads or downloads.
 
Please understand -- if I never did another Kermit transfer in my entire
life, it would suit me just fine; I'd much rather use ZMODEM (this is one
reason I prefer Telix).  Unfortunately, the computer at school seems to
be brain-damaged when it comes to ZMODEM -- I can get it to do uploads,
but not downloads.  So, at least for the present, I am stuck with Kermit
for downloading.  (Incidentally, has anyone at Purdue used sz successfully?)
 
I checked the Kermit setup screen in Telix and it seems to be much the
same as Procomm.  But when I try a Kermit transfer, the computers don't
acknowledge each other, and both sides eventually "time out."
 
Has anyone ever done a Kermit transfer with Telix?  (Probably not, unless
you HAD to :-) 

I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions.  Thanks.
