	I have a related problem using Kermit...
	I am able to download items from the host at packet size 2000, but
	I am not able to upload anything properly at size down to around 500.
	(the problem is that the transfer most of the time hang at the 4th or 
	 5th packet, and then only the retry counter go up until aborted.) 
	Even at size 500 uploading, a lot of retries occurs.

	The Kermit verion used at the host is: C-Kermit 5A(179) BETA, SUNOS 4.1 
	(BSD), and I am using MS Kermit 3.12 for my PC. Data transfer is made 
	under DOV through phone line at 9600baud.

	I tried cross-referenced the settings at both status menus and made
	trials, but nothing seemed to have been improved.
	I appreciate any help given.

	I also noticed that the host's kermit program can set the send packet 
	size up to 9024. Is there any version of comm program for PCs that 
	can receive up to that size?

	Many thanks.
