I also have Kermit transfer problems under Telix. I connect to the school's
VM mainframe from a dataswitch, which I believe is 8 bit. Whenever I do a
file transfer, it would just wait   for ack and time out each other. The
host Kermit will tell me missing start of packet. I get the same problem 
under Procomm.
