I have the same problem with our LAN a SYTEK LocalNet. If I connect the
Amiga in my office I can switch the network to eight bit no parity and
everything (VT100 Kermit transfers) works fine. If I access the network 
thru telefone then I can't change the seven bit even parity setting on 
the receiving TBOX and I am not able to do a file transfer even if I set
everything to seven bits/even parity. This confused me really because I
thought that Kermit should be able to handle any transmission protocol.
