We have been having problems transfering files between C-Kermit on SCO
UNIX and Kermit on a IBM 390 mainframe running MVS. We had no problems
until we upgraded our C-Kermit version from 5.190 to 6.192. The problem
is that there several retry errors during the transmission. I don't
have much information on the mainframe version other than it is old. We
are connected thru a dialup connection via a local GTE Data Services
phone number. The only kermit settings I was told to use are:
control quote=35
max pack 1024
no pad characters
eol=13
CRC=1 byte checksum
Block start =1
The files I am transferring are text only. My show proto command shows
the following:

I have experimented with set prefixing all/cautious/minimal/none which
only creates more retries per packet. The best I have seen is approx 1
retry for every packet sent.
The following is an example of my display after a file upload (I am
connecting at 14.4K):

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
