Check out NComm 1.92, or use C-Kermit to get these things working.

There _might_ be the problem that you have a 7bit datalink to your
UNIX-System but a 8bit file transfer link.
Compare both settings of the Kermit Protocol.
Another way would be to get hold of the rz and sz file transfer
protocolls implementing both, Y and Z-Modem.

Hope I could help,
