Yes, they are Kermit protocol packets, but obviously there is some
information loss in the picture above (your sniffer shows control characters
and spaces, etc, by name, and probably also highlights them in some way,
which is lost in the translation to ASCII). The transaction above shows
the transfer of a 0-length file called:
<Ctrl-H>;;<Ctrl-B>removeSPsubscriberSP8001
Then another transfer begins but only the beginning is shown.

Frank,
I've been sweating over this for weeks trying to figure it out.
Granted, I know nothing about this. It wasn't until I tried going down the
Kermit road that things starting making more sense. I know all my data gets
messed up when I try and represent it in Ascii, but there isn't an easy way to
post the stuff in a newsgroup. I do have the binary file.
Does your book give specifics about all of that information? I'm
trying to do away with the DOS app that runs on my desktop. It's very old, but
functions perfectly. I want to redo it in a native Windows app, but won't get
too far if I don't even know what it's doing.
I sure do appreciate all the info!
