Apparently, Telix has some problems over 7 bit networks, since I've
been unable to use it over our LAN except for file type text.  Binary
transfers get the same "time out" error as you're having.

My suggestion:  use a better kermit program.  I'm using the
program mstibm.exe from watsun.cc.columbia.edu, under /kermit/bin.
It's the latest release, and includes sliding windows, which is
tremendously faster.  Also on watsun under /kermit/sw is the source
for kermit with sliding windows, so you can compile it on your
host machine.

What I've done is to make mstibm.exe one of the external protocols,
and write a small batch file to run it.  It works great, and is much
faster for having sliding windows.
