- Greetings: I have been running an older version, 2.03, of kermit on my
- 4150. For a couple of years all has been ok. I am now connecting some PC's
- using procomm plus to a terminal server which in turn is connected to my
- ethernet board on the Prime. I have set my terminal server at 8 data bits
- no parity and 1 stop bit, this is the default. I have set my PC's procomm
- emulator to the same. At this point I can login to the prime and do my
- work BUT when I enter ALT K on my pc to enter Kermit file transfer mode
- and answer the questions to send or receive a file, I get back NAK responses
- and Kermit aborts with a 'failed' type transfer message. If I then change my
- procomm settings to 7 data bits, odd parity and 1 stop bit, Kermit
- sends and receives files ok. I prefer to keep all my PC's set at 8,1,N
- as a standard.
-
- Question: Does anyone know what kermit might not like at 8,1,N?
- Should 8,1,N work?
- Do newer versions of Prime Kermit have this problem?
- I would like to keep Procomm as my terminal emulator of choice.

- Comments.
