rlogin uses (by default) an escape character of a '~'. I don't think that
ms-kermit or C-Kermit will allow you to escape this char, as it is a
printable character. I have found, however, that transfers from
pc-->unix->unix, where the pc->unix link is via ms-kermit and the unix->unix
link is via rlogin that the transfers failed when ms-kermit did its
'compression' by replacing repeating chars with a run-length encoded string
(the normal 'compression' char is '~' and the run-length was such that it
was represented by another '~', that the two '~' chars together were changed
by rlogin to a single '~', causing check-sum failures.
Bottom line: tell rlogin to use a different escape character by using the
'-ec' flag (see man rlogin(1)). In my case, I've got a terminal server in
the path that uses control-x as an escape char, so I have to tell ms-kermit
to escape control-x anyway, so I tell rlogin to use control-x as the escape
character. This has given me full upload/download capabilities. In your
case, you seem to be escaping control-z for some reason, so you could
probably safely tell rlogin to use this as the escape.
Hope this helps.
