Kermit is a woderful little utility, but you must understand that it has
several modes, and both ends __MUST__ use the same options.

If the file is text, most defaults work fine.  If the file is binary (arc,
executables, object code etc) you must use the option 'i' to indicate
that the transfer is a complete "image".

On most unix systems you will find the default is text transfer.  Here's what
it takes to transfer from my Unix box to my ST.

On the Unix Box:
$ kermit -i -s greatprg.arc <return>

On the ST:
kermit -ri <return>

Hope this helps.
