I am trying to use the new C-kermit relase 4.2 to transfer entire directory
trees from one Unix system to another. Following the documentation I tried
the following commands:

Receiving system:	kermit -qik | tar xf -
Sending system:		tar cf - | kermit -il /dev/... -b ... -s -

The result is that the sending kermit is hanging and the terminal i beeping
until stopped by ^C. Looking in the log shows that the Send Initiate packet
has been transmitted and acknowledged.

I also tried the following commands:

Receiving system:	kermit -qik | tar xf -
Sending system:		tar cf - | kermit -qil /dev/... -b ... -s -

This time the transfer almost succeeded but the last 2560 bytes of the
transmission got lost.

The sending system is a 4.2 BSD system and the receiving system is a Genix
system.

Is there anyone that have had the same problem and found out why this
happens and (hopefully) have a solution.
