Hi,

I'm using kermit to log into other (unix) systems (works well)
using a modem connection.

When I try to get files from a remote system (remote  kermit
server), those files are allways truncated some bytes (100 to
1000) before their eof :-(
Funny thing is, that kermit never complains, tells of a success-
ful transmit instead.

BTW I'm using a ZyXEL and getting about 850 cps transfer speeds
(an taylor uucp-1.04 connection almost never transmits less than
1000 cps).

Third thing: would it be possible to use rz/sz with kermit?
If yes, how?

Could anybody help?

Bye,
Michael.

P.S. here is the .kermrc I use (it's the standard dot.kermrc from
     the ported FreeBSD kermit package):

---------- snip ---------- snip ---------- snip ----------
# .kermit -- typical ckermit init file

set send packet 9024		# packet size send 
set receive packet 9024		# packet size receive
set file type binary		# file type
set block 3			# use 16bit CCITT crc's
set window 15 			# use 15 sliding window slots
set file name literal		# do not translate file names
set file coll overwrite		# overwrite if file allready exists
set file dis crt		# display in terms of cps and percentage
set flow rts			# hardware flow control
set con unprefix all		# unpre all control characters
set con prefix 0 3 131		# prefix necessary control characters
set line /dev/cua00			# only command added by me
set speed 57600			# use 57600bps DTE
