Setting the Kermit Parameters

The following parameters can be set:

Timeout after sets the maximum time Kermit waits for a character to be received from the serial port. Maximum number of retries the maximum number of retries before the transmission is aborted. Number of padding characters the number of padding characters sent before each packet. Packet size the maximum packet size you want to use (maximum size without large packets is 94 bytes, with 2048). Quote character the ASCII character used for control character quoting. 8 bit quote character the ASCII character used for 8th-bit quoting. Repeat prefix character the character used for repeat prefixing. Padding character the character used for padding. Start of packet the character that marks the start of a Kermit packet. IBM mode wait for a XOn character before sending a packet (XOn/XOff flowcontrol naturally has to be turned off for this to work). Error check type two and single character checksum and CRC check.

Normally you shouldn't have to change any of these parameters, please consult the Kermit literature for more details.
