}solution.  If for some reason you must stay in Procomm (for instance,
}you don't have an external kermit package), then you use kermit si
}[filename] at the Unix end, then from Procomm change from E71 to N81,
}using alt-p, and the file will be received fine (afterwards, of course, 
}you must change back to E71, or your screen will contain only gibberish).
}Alternatively, you can shell out of Procomm with alt-F4 and run kermit
}as an external protocol. 

Of course, if you can get a full 8 bits across your data path (N81), then
you might as well use sz/rz on Unix and shell out to DSZ from ProComm.
You will be rewarded with much-enhanced throughput, among other things.
