Sometimes I had a similar problem while downloading bigger archives from our VAX. The transfered file was about 30% bigger than the original and (guess!) it got broken, no matter what sort of archive. I'm shure the kermit settings were correct. After wasting some time with unsuccessful downloads, I decided to use another program which also has a built-in kermit, but I miss the enhanced features of uniterm. Anyone got an idea what could be wrong? (Btw. sometimes the transfer completed successfully, using the same settings!?)
