Hi,

I've heard it said (and many people have reccommended it to me) that I can
run ZModem under C-Kermit.

I have tried doing it this way:
1) Start transfer on remote.
2) Escape to kermit prompt
3) Type: "< rz"

Then ZModem will start, and appear to negotiate successfully.  But then I
get erorrs like "data subpacket too long" and the transfer will abort.

This transfer is over a telnet connection (using C-Kermit's TELNET command). 
Kermit transferrs work fine, but the place I'm connected to only supports
the older (92 byte packets, 1 window) style Kermit so it is very SLOW.

Thanks!
