Knowing how to "set up for binary transfer" is not the same as knowing how the kermit protocol works. There is enough leeway in the protocol that settings that work between two Amigas may not work between two Vaxen or between an HP-48 and an Amiga. Also, I wasn't responding to you specifically, but to your question canonically. If I wanted to respond to you personally, I would have sent you e-mail. This is a public forum, not an exchange of letters. -- Jan Brittenson bson@ai.mit.edu ;; The distinction between a hack and a hacker is that the hack works ;; for the money; the hacker works for the hack.
