Kermit 95 also uses an 8-N-1 connection by default. The terminal bytesize
is 8 by default, but that has no bearing on file transfer.
Kermit 95's default file transmission mode is BINARY. A uuencoded file is
a text file composed of only 7-bit ASCII characters. When TRANSMIT'ing or
SEND'ing a text file, you should first SET FILE TYPE TEXT.
Also, since TRANSMIT is not an error-checked form of file transfer, make
sure you have an adequate means of flow control. Buffer overruns could
account for the garbled characters.
