I am having trouble sending a file from Sun Solaris to a VAX.  If I do
it by hand, it works fine.  If I do it in an "expect" script I wrote it
locks up when trying to escape back to my local terminal prior to doing
a send.

Here's the deal.  1) the expect script logs in to the VAX fine except it
does not understand the terminal type.  So I get a lot of garbage thrown
back to my screen.  I get around this by just sending a bunch of
carriage returns. 2) then I have Kermit start up and I do a "set escape
005".  3) then I do a "receive <filename>" and send a \005c to escape
back to the local terminal.  This is where it hangs.

o Could it be that since it does not know the terminal type that it just
locks up?

o Or is it something else so obvious that I should be embarrased :->

Thanks in advance for any and all help/suggestions/comments/...
