Kermit on the pc that originates the failed transfers is probably trying
to send the files as binaries. Make sure your files are truly 7-bit
ascii files. Uuencode the files if you can't determine this directly
because binary files will not transfer over over a 7-bit connection
without some kind of translation.
Don't worry about changing your data byte size. If you can maintain a
connection at all, your 7/8 bit setting is fine. Depending on what kermit
flavor you're running, set the default file type to ascii or text. That
option may be in your startup script, on a pull-down menu, or...8:)
