My local ISP uses C-Kermit. I was using Telix for Kermit downloads but it
makes my arteries harden. I recently got MS-Kermit for Dos version 3.15
and when I try to download a file from my ISP, MSK will go to the
"receiving file" screen and just sit there. I can not get the data unless
I hit the "retry" button <enter> every 3 seconds. If I hit this button
any sooner or later, my "retry" counter goes up and ultimately I use my
limit of retries. I could set the retry limit higher but that still does
not help with the real situation.
My guess is that my side of Kermit is not sending the RTS signal to my
ISP or my configuation is wrong. I basically used the configuration of my
Telix as a small guide the configuration. Here's what I have MSK
configured to:
SET PORT 2, SPEED 57600, FLOW RTS/CTS, WINDOW 3 (OR 4)
SET CONTROL UNPREFIX ALL
SET CONTROL PREFIX 0 1 129
SET TERM BYTE 8
SET PARITY NONE
SET RECEIVE QUOTE 35
SET RECEIVE START-OF-PACKET 1
SET RECEIVE PACKET-LENGTH 2000
SET END-OF-LINE 13
I've also tried to SET PARITY SPACE but that does not work.
I'm using an Intel 144/144e Fax External modem, IBM 386dx w/Dos 5.0 and
the SIIG HighSpeed Serial I/O Pro card (16550 Uart)
Another thing is as soon as the file transfer begins, I have to hit the
"enter" key at least twice for the "filename" to be listed.
I'm used to the Telix program that as soon as you give the receive
command (PGDWN Key) and hit `K' for Kermit, the transfer begins at an
average CPS rate of 250-350 (I once had a CPS rate of 400 for about a
second!)
MS-Kermit is indeed faster that Telix's Kermit but if I could somehow
configure it to accept the data the ISP C-KERMIT is sending without
hitting the "retry" key, I'd be happy!
Any suggestions?
In the mean time, I'll check my library to see if they have the manual
for using MS-KERMIT and check it out (if it helps, then buying the manual
for keeps is going to be a must for me! To this day, I still have to
refer to my Dummies to DOS guide! =) )
Thanks in advance.
