A faster way to set this up is to go straight to the server on the UNIX
machine with the command:

	kermit -ix

The i flag sets the file type to binary and the x flag takes you to the
server.  If you use the kermit 'send' command instead of server commands, then

	'kermit -is <file>' 

will start sending the file in binary mode using the Kermit protocol.
