At least on my kermit server....add -i in the command line,
otherwise, check around for documentation for your kermit.

P.S.  Misusing text-mode kermit to transfer binary was how I
munged up the original posting of PKARC.* and ARC.*, the
new version was done "right" and looked good when I downloaded
it from *.binaries.ibm.pc. (cross your fingers, close your eyes,
and trust me).
