You always have to specify image mode when using mainframe Kermits.
They default to text mode, which for Unix systems means a single
line feed delimits lines, whereas most other systems use both a
carriage return and a line feed. If you transfer a file using text
mode, the Unix Kermit looks for line feeds and replaces them with
CR/LF sequences. If you want to send a file with absolutely no
translation of the data, you use image mode. (Boy, if you really
want to get screwed up, try Kermitting to an IBM style system that
uses EBCDIC! Then the difference between Text mode and Image mode
becomes *really* obvious...)
