Sean,
	A couple of hints. First, tell the host side SET FILE TYPE BINARY, or
it's local equivalent, before turning it into a server. Second, you need to
read the User's Manual on MS-DOS Kermit to get full benefit of the program.
That's the paperbound book "Using MS-DOS Kermit" by Christine Gianone, Digital
Press and Prentice Hall, 1990, $29. This has lots of examples and chatting
about this and many other common situtations.
	You can always get the most recent release of any offical Kermit from
the master archives at Columbia University. Do an anonymous ftp to node
watsun.cc.columbia.edu 128.59.39.2 and look in main directory "kermit". Sub
directory "a" (for the mag tape label) holds MS-DOS Kermit as files starting
with the letters MS. The current release is version 3.10 and it's accompanying
Patch file MSR310.PCH (get it).
