: wow, lots questions :) ok, its "C-Kermit 6.0.192,6 Sep 96, For FreeBSD"
: I installed it by grabing the source, compiling it, then doing a "make

I'd recommend you try 7.0:

(In fact, you already did when you tried IKSD...)

We have no knowledge of third-party Kermit implementations, let alone any
control over them. You can publish a protocol specification but that doesn't
guarantee correct implementations.
We have our own PC communications software that we support and stand behind:

http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html <-- Win3x/DOS

: Thank you, any other info I am glad to devulge as much info as needed to

Please try 7.0. If you still have trouble, send a report, including a
packet log ("log packets" before transfer, makes a file called packet.log),
by email to kermit-support@columbia.edu.

: Thank you, I tested Procomm with kermit.columbia.edu and it seems to work
: fine, so it would appear to be something on my side.

The C-Kermit manual contains a whole chapter on troubleshooting file-transfer
failures, and other chapters on setup, configuration, data communications
overview, etc etc. You didn't say what kind of connection you had. For
example if it's a serial connection the first thing to look at is flow
control.
