Hey,
Thanks for the help so far.... it appears that there IS a debug mode
in vax kermit-32 circa 1990.... set debug on. This may have identified
the problem. When I turn this on prior to file transfer, I see a number
of successful packets moving, and then I get:
" " "U" "s" "e" "5" "6" "K" " " " " "2"
"4" "1" "-" "3" "2" "9" "3" " " "#" "J"
" " " " "H" "a" "d" "l" "e" "y" "~" "'"
" " ":" " " "(" "8" "1" "0" ")" "~" "#"
" " "u" "s" "e" "~" "%" " " "L" "a" "p"
"e" "e" "r"
Checksum: "^" = 62 (dec)

If, after getting this error, I do a SHOW STATUS inside kermit, I get:

Following Frank's advice on the MAXBUF issue, I fired up VMS sysgen and
set MAXBUF to 64000, the max value. I hope this is what I was supposed to
do. It did not appear to have any effect. Also tried robust mode, small
packets, a few other strange ideas I cooked up myself. Oh, no terminal
servers, just me talking to a linux box. Also tried it to a local ISP
with a terminal server, just for the hell of it - no change. Gurus I
beseech thee! Whats the deal?
