Yes yes i have the same problem too, i was connected to a bbs fido. It appears
that procomm doesnt handle the 8 bit quoting correctly. Tho it may not all
be procomm's problem. Fido was 8 bits no parity so it shouldnt have been
8 bit quoting but it did anyway. Procomm wasnt smart enough to catch the 
dumb fido (but remember dogs are a mans best friend) so the file was about
twice the size and of course unusable. Another problem i had with the fido
down load and kermit was long files. When the file got over ~35k then i got
some extra bytes. About that time i gave up on fido, kermit & procomm. Sigh!
Well not really on kermit.
