  16. I am using Kermit over TCP/IP and Ethernet.  I was wondering if I could
  17. improve the performance of transfer of binary files by allowing some
  18. nonprinting ASCII characters to not be escaped.  So, is there a simple
  19. way of determining what characters will make it through a telnet session
  20. without breaking anything?
  21.  
  22. Alternatively, would using uuencode on the data before hand be more
  23. efficient than having Kermit do its escape character method?
  24.  
  25. Thanks.
