HELP!!

I'm trying to transfer binary files from a vax running unix to an IBM PC
lookalike using kermit (C-KERMIT 4.2(030) at the unix end, MSKERMIT 2.29 at the
IBM end). At the unix end I type set file type binary, and server. At the IBM
end I type get filename. Kermit seems to manage the first 2 packets but then
keeps retrying until it gives up. I've tried altering things like packet size
and end of line character, but this hasn't helped.

If anyone has successfully transferred binary files from unix to msdos using
kermit, could they please mail me with the settings they used.

Thanks
