I use control-E. That's done by telling the TAC: @i 5 no changes are required to Kermit when this is done. Of course only text files (not binary) can be transmitted because the mainframe Kermit doesn't know how to tell the TAC to switch to binary mode yet. I've been using Kermit to upload VERY large text files using wild cards (i.e.: Kermit send *.*) and it works very well at 1200 baud. I uploaded the whole MDM714 package over the weekend that way. Kermit works when MODEM or umodem fail due to system load. My last upload was 140k of files while there were 25 users on BRL! --Keith
