- I've been unable to get kermit to receive binary files on my nextstation.
- It works just fine on text files, but it hangs up after a few packets with
- binary files. After several retries, kermit aborts the transfer with the
- message "Too many NAK's". I've used kermit on other unix systems for
- years, and have never encountered this problem before. The kermit settings
- on the nextstation side are as follows:
