binary file transfer with kermit on nextstation

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:
