I have no trouble at all with either text transfers or binary transfers
between Uniterm Kermit on my ST and C-Kermit running on a 4.3bsd system
(a Sun Sparcstation).  You do have to remember to set binary mode at
both ends for binary transmissions.  I usually say "kermit -ix" to the
Unix kermit, click the "binary" box on the Uniterm menu, and use the
"get" or "put" command.
