: It's a sniffer file of a two-way conversation between a DOS app running on

: communications" does this look pretty standard?

Yes, they are Kermit protocol packets, but obviously there is some
information loss in the picture above (your sniffer shows control characters
and spaces, etc, by name, and probably also highlights them in some way,
which is lost in the translation to ASCII). The transaction above shows
the transfer of a 0-length file called:
<Ctrl-H>;;<Ctrl-B>removeSPsubscriberSP8001
Then another transfer begins but only the beginning is shown.
