I did the same thing when I used to use Procomm Plus (TD). It worked
right up to the last byte when it would always hang. I had to abort at
that point but the file was not corrupted. 

Why use Kermit anyhow? Y/Xmodem is available for Unix and Zmodem
source code can be downloaded from SIMTEL20. These are far faster
file transfer protocols.

And why use any version of Procomm when Telix 3.11 has so many more
features and fewer bugs?
