Long packets. Tell the file receiver to "set receive packet-length 1000"
or thereabouts.
Control-character unprefixing. Read about this in the KERMIT.UPD file.
The real question remains: why are your transfers failing? Let's figure
this one out, and then we can make them as fast as possible.
Tell MS-DOS Kermit to "log packet", then try to transfer a file. Then
tell MS-DOS Kermit to "close packet", and send the resulting PACKET.LOG
file by e-mail to kermit@columbia.edu for analysis.
