Common maladies:
Wrong parity, so the sides don't match (they must match)
Insufficient flow control
Specifying the wrong kind (Binary, Text) of file mode
Please inform your VAX administrator that everyone would be
much better off if Kermit-32 were deleted and C Kermit 5A were
installed. See kermit.columbia.edu, cd kermit/bin for ckv*.exe,
and cd kermit/b for all text files.
I have no Macs, nor have I heard of "VICOM Connect."

I believe the release notes for C Kermit explain that the
client now controls file TYPE via the SET FILE TYPE command given
on the client. It's part of file attributes, named the "whatami"
component, where the client informs the server of its binary/text
state. It's a step forward, really.
