Please bear with my ignorance...
I want to download files from my UNIX account to DOS. I have been using
a dated modem program (CrossTalk). I know a little ProComm too.
When I invoke Kermit once in my UNIX shell it comes up C-Kermit>. I
enter 'receive <file name>'. After a long delay I get a 'too many
retries' message.
Can someone help or recommend a *brief* guide to Kermit (I ftp'ed an
enormous MSKermit.doc and the faq file wasn't terribly helpful).
Thanks for your time and patience
private e-mail preferred
