Sorry, I should have provided the reference:
     
    "Kermit Protocol Manual" by Frank da Cruz, Sixth Edition

    Page 24:

    "Y   I agree to 8-bit quoting if you request it (I don't need it)"

(This manual does have the advantage of being free).

So the question is: how compatible is Frank da Cruz with himself? :-)
Anyway I don't see why the Protocol allows 'Y' in a response to a
send-init packet, it being totally redundant (as the table you quoted
shows nicely).
