BEING A RELATIVELY NEW USER ON THE NET, I NEED SOME HELP.  MY EQUIPMENT
IS A TELEVIDEO 803 COMPUTER AND A HAYES SMARTMODEM 300.  AFTER XSFERRING
FILES FROM OTHER HOSTS, I.E. SIMTEL20, I HAVE REPEATEDLY TRIED TO DOWNLOAD
THE FILES TO MY COMPUTER USING KERMIT 3.1, KERMIT 3.6, AND MODEM730.
IN EACH CASE, I RECEIVE UP TO 50-80 PACKETS WITH NO OR VERY FEW RETRIES.
AT THAT POINT, THE PROGRAMS "BOMB" OUT WITH THE MESSAGE "UNABLE TO RECEIVE
DATA".  IN THE CASE OF KERMIT 3.1, I ALSO GET A MESSAGE "BAD CHECK SUM".
SINCE I CAN RECEIVE SMALL FILES (1-8K) WITH NO PROBLEMS, I AM PRETTY SURE THAT
THE PORT ASSIGNMENTS ARE CORRECT.  EVERYTIME I TRY TO COPY ANYTHING LARGER,
THE SYSTEM FAILS.  THE GUYS WHO HELPED ME MODIFY THE PROGRAMS FOR MY COMPUTER
ARE STUMPED.  I SURE COULD USE SOME HELP.   RON OWENS
