- I don't know if this will help or not but the following is from the
- KERMIT PROTOCOL MANUAL, Sixth Edition, June 1986
-
- 3.2. Timeouts, NAKs, and Retries
-
- Normally, only one side should be doing timeouts, preferably the side with the
- greatest knowledge of the "environment" -- system load, baud rate, and so
- forth, so as to optimally adjust the timeout interval for each packet. If both
- sides are timing out, their intervals should differ sufficiently to minimize
- collisions.
