Versions previous to C-Kermit 7.0 defaulted to
SET PREFIX ALL
which resulted in slow transfers over transparent links. Now C-Kermit
defaults to
SET PREFIX CAUTIOUS

Your dialup connection (terminal server?) is not transparent.

Uuencoded binary files are completely ASCII.
: how do i trouble shoot this?
Use
ROBUST or CAUTIOUS
tranfers instead of the default FAST transfers. See the Troubleshooting
chapter of "Using C-Kermit" for details on finer tuning.
