Yup to the P.S. Please do, and recommend the remote VAX sysadmin
do the same. To end Kermit packet mode (protocol mode, if you like) issue
a FINISH or BYE command from the client. FIN leaves the other end running,
BYE shut down the far end and logs out the comms connection. That's in the
manual. To escape back to a "local (one hop away)" C Kermit prompt issue
the C Kermit escape character, Control-\, from MS-DOS Kermit. Works fine
for me.
