In the absence of kermit, I was told that I could invoke

cat >file_name

on the host machine and pass data from my machine to the
host w/o a hitch. What I've discovered is that "cat" works
with small amounts of data being transferred - but why can't
I xfer more than about 2K of data before the host "goes crazy?"

Is it the lack of "checking" going on between the two machines
to insure data was received?
