I've been unable to get kermit to receive binary files on my nextstation. It works just fine on text files, but it hangs up after a few packets with binary files. After several retries, kermit aborts the transfer with the message "Too many NAK's". I've used kermit on other unix systems for years, and have never encountered this problem before. The kermit settings on the nextstation side are as follows: C-Kermit 5A(170) ALPHA, 23 Apr 91, NeXT Communications Parameters: Line: /dev/tty, speed: 2400, mode: remote, modem: direct Parity: none, duplex: full, flow: xon/xoff, handshake: none Protocol Parameters: Send Receive Timeout: 10 7 Server timeout: 0 Padding: 0 0 Block Check: 1 Pad Character: 0 0 Delay: 5 Packet Start: 1 1 Max Retries: 10 Packet End: 13 13 Packet Length: 90 90 Length Limit: 9024 9024 Window: 1 1 Buffer Size: 9065 9065 File parameters: Attributes: on Names: converted Debugging Log: none Type: binary Packet Log: none Longest filename: 255 Collide: backup Session Log: none Longest pathname: 1024 Display: on Transaction Log: none File Byte Size: 8, Incomplete Files: discard, Init file: .kermrc Any Suggestions? --Frank Beatrous frank@next419.math.pitt.edu
