As someone who handles my communication needs over modems using UUCP,
I very seldom uses kermit. I have had c-kermit-5A-188 installed for
dialup users and to get new firmware from USRobotics BBS (WILDCAT!)
in France. C-kermit-5A-188 is old and as many people has recommended
(in this group) that everyone upgrade to c-kermit-5A-190 I did so a
while ago. The last night I tried to get the latest USRobotics firmware
but the received file was corrupt and I had to fall back to c-kermit-5A-188.

Note that the SDLPALLA.EXE-190 file contains some spurious Y characters.
About one third of the characters in SDLPALLA.EXE-190 are Y! This looks
to me as a quoting problem. Is this some incompatibility between the
"kermit" in WILDCAT! and c-kermit-5A-190, or a problem in c-kermit-5A-190?
