I have a suspicion that the recently posted HandShake program may be
flawed with regard to its Kermit file transfer implementation.  I've
been using VT100 R2.8 to ship files from our Unix PC-7300 to my Amiga
(currently about 3 feet apart, connected via null modem) without problem.

I thought I'd give HandShake a try (yes, I set 8 bit mode) and downloaded
some ".zoo" files.  In my usual zeal to clean up after myself, I deleted
the originals on the PC-7300, only to find out that the copies delivered
to my Amiga were quite corrupted.  Other than that minor inconvenience, 
HandShake appears to be quite a nice terminal emulator :-).  Though I
find the terminal emulation to be quite nice (the smooth scroll feature
is impressive!), I think I'll stick with VT100.
