Does anyone know where I can find C-Kermit?  I am currently using XPRKermit
version 1.5 on VLT v4.428, and it doesn't seem to work well enough for me.

My problem is this:  I am trying to get files from the ULTRIX machine on
campus to my Ami at home.  When I receive the file, it is invariably larger
on my disk than on the mainframe.  I suspect that the extra goo in the file
is line noise; XPRKermit's best error-checking cannot weed this out, however.

The author suggests in the documentation that C-Kermit has much better error-
checking capacities than XPRKermit.  If anyone could comment on this, please
do.

Finally, if anyone could 1) tell me what I may be doing wrong, or 2) point me
to C-Kermit, I will name my next yacht after you.

Thanks in advance,
