I would like to thank everyone who responded to my Kermit posting a while back.
Apparently, I was not issuing the 'set file type binary' command before down-
loading.  Stupid mistake, and I appreciate everyone's replies.  I am now down-
loading in XPRKermit at 1024K blocks (GREAT compared to 94K blocks).

My problem now is with the XPRZmodem protocol.  It downloads fine with a buffer
size of 1K, but it is TERRIBLY slow.  I changed the buffer size to 64K and, as
I am using a floppy system at present, the frame size to 65536 (as the docu-
mentation states as an example).  Whenever I download a file greater than 64K,
the protocol times out at exactly 65536K (when the floppy is accessed).  I see
no option in the VLT (4.428) protocol window to set the timeout limit.  Any
replies would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
