Tell K95 to "set prefixing all" and try again (this addresses the likelihood
that your connection is not transparent to control characters).
If that doesn't work, also tell it to "set parity space" (this addresses the
likelihood that your connection is not 8-bit transparent).
Also make sure you are using RTS/CTS flow control (if your modem supports it)
or, whatever else is most appropriate to the kind of connection you have.
Please note that Kermit 95 comes with a manual, "Using C-Kermit", which
contains a chapter (10) "Solving File Transfer Problems"; please consult it
for additional troubleshooting steps.
