I'll answer to both, although I know Telix better than Terminate. There's
a couple of threads about Telix and MS-Kermit in Fidonet. Basically, you
can install MS-Kermit as an external protocol in Telix. What you need is
a simple batch file that has one line: (Pick based on which version of Kermit
you have)
c:\msker314\kerlite.exe (MS-Kermit 3.14)
c:\msker313\kermit.exe (MS-Kermit 3.13) -- adjust based on your path.
Save the batch file as KERMIT.BAT and call it from the External protocols
menu. You do not have to pass file names. The download and upload batch
file is the same (KERMIT.BAT). You do need to have Kermit either in your
PATH statement or in the same directory as Telix/Terminate.
You then configure the long packets in the MSCUSTOM.INI files. I have
packets set to 2000, and it works fine for me.
That serves as the basics--you will want to check out the book as well as
the Kermit FAQ--that will tell you how to optimize your performance even more.
I have a poor server connection here, and can get 675 cps on text transfers
at 9600 bps, and about 400 cps on binarys. The FAQ explains how to optimize
still more. The FAQ is available by FTP to kermit.columbia.edu
Telix does *NOT* have the full Kermit implementation--it's only a subset that
has a max of 94 cps. That is explained in the Telix 3.2x documentation.
I don't believe Telemate does either. That's why Frank and others urge us
to use Columbia's Kermit.
Hope this helps!
