I have a few questions. checked the tiny FAQ with no luck...
SYSTEM: I type Wermit to run kermit, so I guess that is the specific
kermit program on SCO Unix.
I use Crosstalk for Windows over a 14.4 modem.
1) What are blocks? As I set packet lengths to 4096 and higher, it
reminds me to set block check to 2 or 3. Can someone tell me what block
check is?
2) My modem software has a Checksum setting - single, double, or CRC.
My kermit program doesn't have a corresponding setting. What's the deal?
3) Ever since I started playing with my settings to get *useable*
results, my transfer quits after 1 error. Is this because of the long
packet lengths?
Thanks!
