It's not exactly "raw ASCII" -- it's really just raw 8-bit binary data.

This should work:
:START_FLASH
EIGHTBIT
SET FILE TYPE BINARY
SET FLOW-CONTROL XON/XOFF
TRANSMIT \%f
If that doesn't work, use SET FLOW NONE. If that results in overruns,
add SET TRANSMIT PAUSE <msec> (to pause between each byte) or use a slower
serial speed.
: Also on the topic of K95. Will we ever see the much awaited Native (Eg

: for the last 6 months..
:
We've been working hard. There will be major releases of K95 and C-Kermit
soon. The new release of K95 will not be the GUI, but it will be the final
major release before the GUI release.
It's a lot of work.
By the way, K95 *is* fully native.
