In a previous message I posted, I described several attempts to use
Kermit to download a binary stuffed Mac DA from a UNIX VAX host to
a Macintosh SE running Kermit 0.9(40) or VersaTerm 3.2 via both a
TELENET and a direct dial connection. In no case was I able to get 
Kermit to work; all failures were identical - bad file address in
the Stuffit 1.5.1 file list and failure to unstuff. I remember reading
somewhere that some hosts introduce errors in Kermit binary download.
Does anyone have any additional information on this?
