-----------
I think you mean long packets, since in Kermit-speak "block"
refers to the kind of checksum. Long packets are a standard part of
the Kermit protocol, have been since goodness knows when (going on
a decade, +/- 5%). It's not a protocol b
t a feature of the Kermit
protocol. For the rules on the matter please see the official reference:
the book "Kermit, a file transfer protocol" by Frank da Cruz, 1987,
ISBN 0-932376-88-6.
