Bill -
You will not be able to transmit binaries unless you are running
8-bit, no parity. .hqx files (being just 7-bit ascii) will work fine
for 7-bit, odd or even, but to utilize the MacBinary transfer for
Kermit or any *MODEM, 8-bit,N must be running.
BTW, I use s{zxb} on the Sun UNIX side with no options. Similary, I
use kermit -s for kermit stuff.
