Yes, Doug Moncur at York (?) also had this problem. I eventually diagnosed
it by remote control as probably due to not providing the right modem
control signals. CTS and DSR must both be ON, otherwise it won't transmit
anything. I don't know if Doug tried this - I havn't heard from him since,
so I assume it worked.
OS/2 Kermit currently accepts whatever behaviour is set up on the serial port,
which by default is that CTS and DSR must both be present, otherwise
nothing gets transmitted. Perhaps it would be better to disable explicitly
any sensitivity to the modem control lines, since it seems this is going to
be a source of problems.

It turns out that I can solve the problem of the modem by playing with the
MODE command under OS/2. The trick is that the IDSR and ODSR must be set to
OFF. The MODE command I'm using is as follows:
MODE COM1 2400,N,8,1,TO=OFF,XON=OFF,IDSR=OFF,ODSR=OFF,OCTS=ON,DTR=ON,RTS=ON
However, I can't transfer any files that have the eighth bit set. This
includes any ARC files, for example. It also includes any text files with
MCS characters in them. The same files can be transferred with the MS-DOS
Kermit, so the problem isn't at the VAX end. I can move large text files
that don't have any characters with the eighth bit set.
The Kermit on the VAX identifies itself as VMS Kermit-32 version 3.3.111.
When I try to transfer an ARC file I get a bunch of T%T%T% symbols followed
by the error "C-Kermit - Timed out."
Any ideas?

Alas, no go.
I did a SET TERM/PERM/PARITY=EVEN on the VAX side. I used the MODE command
under OS/2 to set the parity of the COM1 port. Then I did SET PARITY EVEN
both to Kermit-32 and then to OS/2 Kermit. It didn't even get as far as
before. It usually prints out this "IRS" thing at the begining. Now it
generates a bunch of "T%" even before it gets to the "R".
The thing does fine on text files. It's anything with that eighth bit set
that gives it gas.
