-------

I have recently been reading many articles in this newsgroup about the use
of kermit between Unix and MS-DOS.  Many of them mention that various
settings should be made to flags etc. at the Unix end.  However, I must
have a rather elderly version of Unix-kermit.  When I type 'kermit' at the
prompt, I get the following displayed:

Usage: kermit c[hlbep line baud esc.char par]   (connect mode)
or:	   kermit s[tdiflbp line baud par] file ... (send mode)
or:	   kermit r[tdiflbp line baud par]	    (receive mode)

My question is: what do all the flags mean?  The only ones I have used
successfully are
       kermit s filename
and
       kermit r filename
which work excellently at our default speed of 9600 baud, but only with
ascii files.

BTW I am using MS-DOS-kermit version 2.29C (which is the pre-production
version of 2.30).

If anyone has a man page for Unix kermit I should love to receive it!

Thanx.
