The docs say to press ESC from the main VT100 window.  You may have to do
it several times.  This only holds for KERMIT and the 2 XMODEM protocols.

You need to say "KMAXPACK xxx" (omit the quotes) in your vt100.init or
a script file.  I believe the default is 1000 or thereabouts so if it
ain't working for you check your HOST comm pgm (I use it all the time
on this UTS machine with no problem).  It can get kind of tricky if you
use C-Kermit cause it has both a send and receive packet size.  If you
set the send packet size to > 94 it will send large packets but tell the
other kermit to send "normal" packets.  The maximum that VT100 will do is
around 1000 bytes.
