These are the settings I use when using MS-Kermit 3.15 Beta.
SET PORT 2
SET SPE 576
SET FLO RTS/CTS
SET WIN 4
SET TERM BY 8
SET FI TY BIN
SET SEN PACK 9024
SET REC PACK 9024
SET BLO 2
SET TERM AUTO ON
SET TERM VT102
CONNECT
Now, with these settings, I usually use the Public Lynx Acces at Sailor
library in Maryland <sailor.lib.md.us -- login as "guest"> and perform my
downloading from there. I get the 9024 packet length, but after the
downloading, the percentage at the end is always in the teens.
It takes about 30 minutes to download a 1MB file or program. My own ISP
uses C-Kermit but the max packet size I can get from that is 2050.
I download everything from Sailor Library, but I was just wondering if
there's anything I can do to speed up the process on my end because
apparently, Sailor's C-Kermit is configured to obey what my MS-Kermit
tells it instead of using it's own default configuration.
Also, on my own ISP, I don't get the "bar graph" when downloading. I
always get this when downloading from Sailor. Why is that??
Thanks in advance.
