I am trying to send files to a VERY OLD XENIX system that had a freeware
version of KERMIT on it. Indeed, I've even seen the C-SOURCE code of the
KERMIT shell on this system!

This KERMIT gives the message

usage:    kermit c (connect mode)
              kermit s (send file)
              kermit r (receive file)

There are a couple of options that it gives under each command as well.
There is no help, however.

I have tried "kermit r" and "kermit r filename" to get it to receive a
file. I'm using K95 (1.1.16 A 14) kermit protocol trying to send a file. It
just never works. It never sends a single character.

Any ideas???!!!!
