Kermit (to my knowledge) is the only protocol that can download or upload binary data over a 7-bit connection (by using 8th bit prefixing). There are several terminal programs that automatically switch to 8N1 when up/downloading, then revert back to 7E2 or whatever for interactive use. If your terminal server is locked into 7E2 or whatever, you're dead. Sorry. -- .--------------------------------------------------------------------------. |[- O] Rick Stevens | | ?
