Summary: I've got PROBLEMS!


   Recently I had to send a text file to a VAX 2000 miles away.
I've been using RedRyder 9.4 and Kermit, which was the only
protocol accepted by the remote computer. I've tried this ca.
15 times - every time the transfer terminated after the 61'st
block of data (ca. 6K) with RR advising: "File transfer failed,
the current file will be closed" and the remote machine frozen.
Finally, I had to break my file up into 12 (!) parts, c.a. 4K each,
to be sure they will go through. Without going into specifics of the
system I was accessing, my question is: is there something wrong
with RR doing Kermit? (XMODEM always works like a breeze for me)
I would attribute this to phone line noise, but there were no erors
indicated, no timeouts, no long pauses - and the thing broke down
very consistently after the 61'st packet (give or take one on a
few occasions). I appreciate any hints that you could give me.
