One last point... at our site, and perhaps others, the only access to
Suns is via Ethernet. When accessing a Sun from a serial line, such as
dialin, a connection is made to a serial to telnet server which makes
the connection. To the user it looks like a serial connection.
I found out the hard way that kermit only works over this type of
connection running both ends in *even parity*. This may not apply to
you, but rather than have someone else waste time finding it, or cursing
Kermit, if you can't get transfers to work try even parity.
