Hardware: a very old Atari 520ST (just recently had the TOS chips put in)

Software: UNITERM

Other Hardware:  a Sun 4/280 running SunOS 4.0.3

Goal: I want to take files (mostly documents) and load them from my Atari
      to the Sun.  

My problem: When I start up UNITERM I get an error saying something like
            "error in defaults".  I press return and load up the defaults
            I need to dial up.  I then dial up to the Sun computer and
            type "kermit" and then, once inside kermit, type "server".  I
            then press "alt-t" to get the menu to send the files.  I chose
            send.  The next window comes up and reports that I get too
            many errors when sending.  I have been able to download files 
            before, but I don't seem to be able to duplicate it.  (Sometimes the
            Sun displays a message about "unknown server command".)  Can
            someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.  I really need to
            be able to download these file before the end of the semester. and
            I am really getting frustrated.

BTW, a friend who owns anothe Atari ST gave me the UNITERM program, so I have
not done much file transfering before.

Thanks so much for any help.
