I found that the parity was set inconsistently on the two machines (this is the SET PARITY {ODD EVEN NONE MARK SPACE} command). When both machines were set identically, kermit worked just peachy. The method used to transfer a file (simple):, get into kermit on the remote machine, make sure the parities are the same, then use: r-kermit> send Escape back to your local system, and type: l-kermit> receive There are ways of sending multiple files, doing remote slave (server) things- this is the simplest method. Try checking the parity and transfering a small file. +------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Gil Kloepfer, Jr. | Net-Address: | | ICUS Computer Group, Systems Dvlp. | {boulder,ihnp4,talcott}!icus!limbic!gil| | P.O.
