I would suguest you to modify the set up, the set up is supposed to
provide for you to modify. There is no the best setup because speed of
your PC, the setup of your modem, and the host that you cannect to,
and the delay on the signal reach your PC from the Host all these
factory will affect your the best set up for your own configuration,
no one else can do it for you.
The default setup is aimed for very bad quality of line, thus the
overall transfer speed is very low. if you modify the packet lenght
for a biger value the transfer speed will be faster, sometime it can
reach the transfer speed of Zmodem, which Zmodem 's default is aimed
for the line quality far better than Kermit 's default.
So if your line quality is quite good, then if you do not modify the
setup, you will end up with a very robust, but extremely slow
connection.
I am using C-Kermit (190) on a Sun System.
I set the file type to binary.
No. of Window to 5
Tx Pac length to 500
Rx Pac length to 500
3-byte CRC
on both end (PC and Host)
The is not the best seup for me, but I already have big improvement on
speed when compare with default setup.
(Note my service provider just upgrade the Host, before upgrade there
is a small SUN station, at that time the best pac length for me is
arround 1000)
your can try to download the same file for many time and change the
pac length each time to find the length best to you.

If you have trouble to handle or loss confidence on Kermit . You need
to post that your CIS account accept which protocal: Zmodem, Ymodem,
Xmodem, etc. than the people in this newsgroup can tell you the name
of the communication program support the protocal you require.
Since your are in Swiss then if you download big file from US, please
be condiser that even your link between your Local Host or Router is
extremely fast, speed of the link betwen Swiss to US might be very
slow, in this situation any improvement on the speed at your own would
not have much result, unless you rent a private high speed lease line
for youself.
>It should run on a HP (HP-UX 9.x)
I should run on a HP. If it is available from U. of Columbia. Since
Kermit was invented for so many year. If is almost impossible for the
people at U. of Columbia to port a version of Kermit to HP versions of
Unix.
