I'm almost embarrassed to be posting this, but here goes: I'm trying
to transfer binary files from a 386 PC with Optical WORM disk to an HP
series 700 machine. The PC is running MS-Kermit 3.14 and the HP is
running C-Kermit 5A(190). The WORM disk is fairly slow, so I don't
expect miracles, but what I'm actually seeing is transfer speeds with
Kermit which top out at 12 Kb/s, as compared to 35 Kb/s using NCSA
FTP. SET WIN 4, SET BLOCK 3, SET FIL TYP BIN, SET REC PACK 2000, SET
FLOW NONE, SET CONT UNP ALL, SET CONT PRE 0 1 11 13 17 19 are done at
both ends of the Kermit transfer.
I really need this to work better, otherwise I'm going to have to hack
up MSIXSE.C to spit out commands for NCSA FTP. At the current speed
of Kermit, it would take an entire 8-hour day to transfer one WORM
disk side to the HP, and we have 35 disks.
