Here's a weird one. We have a BSDI Pentium hooked up over Ethernet to a card 
called a VLAN card by a company named Penril. Our dial-in users come in over 
an asynchronous connect ports to multiplexers, (made by the same company), 
and then are trunked over hi-speed synchronous data lines to this 
half-serial, half-ethernet card, and then they get a Telnet connection to 
our Unix box. For the dial-up connection, everthing seems to work fine, 
however, Kermit appears to be the only method available for binary file 
transfer. Is there anyone that might suggest settings for our users .kermrc 
files? SET PACKET LENGTH? SET LINE? Remember, Telnet on the host end, asynch 
on the users end.

TIA
