I had a strange problem apparently with kermit 3.85 or ckermit on a VAX
this past weekend.  I tried to kermit up a GIF file and kermit would just
beep at me and terminate.  First I discovered that I was in text mode.  So
I told kermit to use binary.  Then kermit complained that the prodos file
type was txt so it wouldnt use binary mode.  So I exited and changed the mode
to a BIN.  Then I went back into kermit, reset its mode to binary and tried
again.  Again, kermit just beeped.  When I connected to the destination,
I discovered some zero length files and that was all.
