I liked procomm enough to actually pay the registration fee, but
occasionally I am exasperated by the problems caused by settings
that are seemingly unrelated.

Look at D/L File settings "<alt-s> 4<cr> 2<cr>"
if this is not set correctly then procomm does not know where
to place the results of the Kermit download.  In my case:
"c:\bin\comm\tmp\"
note the trailing "\".  Procomm trashes incoming files if it
does not understand where to put them.  (There is a quick message
telling you what the problem is but it FLASHES, and you need
to scroll lock to see it.)

Look at the Kermit settings "<alt-s> 3<cr>" next, they probably
are ok, but ask your local programmer support staff what the
mainframe Kermit is set for.  I once had to change from 1-byte
checksum to 3-byte CRC.

Hope that this is of help,  I never found any help on this from the
Procomm manual.
