Yes, that would do it. It has been widely publicized for the past four
years that C-Kermit 5A has a Year-2000 incompatibility, which was fixed in
C-Kermit 6.0 back in 1996. Please have your ISP install the current
release.
Sorry, I should have remembered to ask you what version of C-Kermit you were
running in my first answer: an up-to-date Kermit on one end doesn't
necessarily indicate an up-to-date Kermit on the other!
Notice to everybody else: all copies of C-Kermit prior to C-Kermit 6.0 must
be replaced by 6.0 or later for Year 2000 compatibility. Of course it is
best to install C-Kermit 7.0 since that is the current release.
