When starting file transfer using kermit 5A(190), kermit sometimes selects
EVEN parity. This cannot be overidden by specifying a parity of NONE and the
transfer obviously fails because the other end is not running EVEN parity.
I can overcome this by setting parity to EVEN at both ends and everything works
fine - but I would rather not.
The problem only occurs when communicating to a particular OS
- ICL DRS NX running on an Intel machine.
The kermit manual states that automatic parity detection will occur but in this
case it is detecting incorrectly.
Any ideas ?
