  When doing a kermit protocol file transfer in text mode, which end
(sender or receiver) does the actual text translation?
  In a related sense, current versions of kermit seem to be setup where
the sender sets the filetype (TEXT or BINARY) and the receiver is
supposed to change itself to match (no matter what its current setting).
  Combining these questions, I was wondering if there was some way the
receiving kermit (probably MS-Kermit 3.14 or CKermit) could (or does ?)
have an option to force the receive filetype to what the receiver wants?
(This would be most useful if it is the receiving program that does
text translation.) (It would be ok to have this setting default to being
controlled by the sender (as it is now and would ordinarily be) but it
might be nice to have such an option.)
  Comments?

  Thanks,
