One really ought not do a CONNECT in the startup file
because that invokes the TCP/IP session right away, leaving
no time to do local setup busywork. The session will timeout
if you don't login/password at that point.

This works perfectly, so we can guess there is more
going on at your desktop than what you describe. Once C Kermit
is in SERVER mode press ALT-X on your PC, then issue the send/get
commands. Make sure no other macros or script commands have
intervened to change the comms channel to a serial port. Do
a SHOW COM before get/send to verify matters. I'll bet you
have a SET PORT in there somewhere after the Connect.

Works fine. But.... If your Alpha is running
VMS Virtual Terminals (VT types) then they normally
don't sense the end of a session and quit; they persist
and persist with C Kermit still running. Best to remove
the VT support as a pain.
FINISH does not close down connections, but BYE
does. VMS VT's don't respond well when the application
(C Kermit in this case) tries to shut down the link.
