Since your terminal is set to 7N1, I assume that you do not have a full
8-bit path to your host. I would surmise that neither of your Kermits
knows this. Have you tried doing a
SET PARITY SPACE
on both ends before doing the binary transfers? This has the effect
of telling the Kermits that the high-bit cannot be used for data and
that "8th-bit-quoting" must be used. Hence, you'll get 8-bit data thru
your 7-bit data path.
Good luck!
