Most TELENET nodes are set up for 7 bit communications only. You can set up eight bit mode, by connecting to your host, then escape back to TELENET (with cr @ cr) and giving the command: SET? 0:33,63:0 The 0:33 parameter allows you to set certain ITI parameters normally not used by TELENET users. The ITI parameter 63 enables the eighth bit when set to 0 (contrary to what is written in the TELENET documentation by the way). I have found this setting useful for both KERMIT file transfers and for using a terminal with a META key for setting the eighth bit for EMACS editing commands. If this fails you should call the TELENET 800 number to find out how to allow eight bit communications for your node. SOme nodes use old TELENET protocols which require setting parameter 57:1 as well. If you have many people using KERMIT via TELENET you can have your TELENET representative change your local node to make the default setting of parameter 63 be 0. By the way I do not encourage people to use KERMIT via TELENET because of the delay in receiving the ACK/NAK. Even with an unloaded network and 1200 baud nodes at either end, the delay in receiving the ACK/NAK effectively lowers the transmission speed from 1200 baud to less than 300 baud. Doug Brutlag [Ed. Note - We will try to work out a "sliding window" option for the Kermit protocol over the summer. This should speed things up a bit, assuming it can be widely implemented.]
