I don't know if this is of any help, but I've found a similar problem trying
to upload to VAX Kermit from Diga. i.e. when I tell Diga to send, it just
locks up and I end up having to reboot to regain control. The solution I've
found is to tell VAX Kermit to send a file to the Amiga (I just send a tiny
.COM file I have lying around). This seems to alter some parameters in VAX
Kermit, matching it to Diga. After this, I can just type RECEIVE and then
tell Diga to send as many files as I like, and everything gets transferred
just fine. If you exit out of KERMIT, remember to send the dummy file again
the next time you enter it.
