Joe and Frank responded to this question already, explaining how to set
binary mode at both sides' Kermit. However, there remains the question of
how to configure *LYNX*, since when running Kermit as a downloader
function from within Lynx, the user would never see the C-Kermit prompt.
The definitions of Lynx-download methods are within the lynx.cfg file,
usually found in /usr/local/bin. One can use one's own copy of this
configuration file which is then invoked by entering
lynx -cfg=FILENAME (with FILENAME being your personal lynx.cfg).
The following definitions contained in my lynx.cfg work fine for me (require
C-Kermit 5A(189) or higher):
DOWNLOADER:Kermit, binary: kermit -i -C "pcsend %s %s, ex":TRUE
DOWNLOADER:Kermit, text: kermit -C "pcsend %s %s, ex":TRUE
With MS-Kermit 3.13 or 3.14, and SET TERMINAL APC ON, they provide
auto-downloading.
