Subject: Master and server mode for receives?
Message-ID: <h0Ue6.2760$9g3.354891@news3.cableinet.net>

Organization: blueyonder (post doesn't reflect views of blueyonder)
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
I have a requirement to transmit and receive data from a remote machine
which, according to their documentation, is running Kermit in server mode.
Their docs say that my Kermit should run in master mode.
I've been able to transmit files without a problem, but when I attempt to
receive, nothing happens. I believe the problem is that my Kermit software
(TurboPower's AsyncPro VCL components for Borland Delphi) is waiting for the
remote to start a send. IOW, AsyncPro doesn't understand the concept of
working as a master when doing a receive.
Is this a standard part of the Kermit protocol? The remote docs show that I
should be sending an Init packet, getting an Ack, then sending a Receive
packet and then the remote will start sending. IOW, it appears that I have
to give the remote a "kick" to get it to start sending.
Am I making sense, or are my conclusions incorrect?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Mike Scott.
