Certainly the very first thing I *always* do with any new kermit setup
is stick a "set file type binary" command in my .kermrc file (or whatever
the equivalent startup file is). I don't think I have ever done a text
mode transfer (come to think of it, ftp has the same problem - does
anyone know why ftp doesn't default to binary mode?).
