- The packet overhead doesn't have to be large.... You can adjust the
- packet size of kermit; and you can also turn on sliding windows, which
- can make a big difference when you are transferring files at any speed
- (but especially if you're using one of the slower speeds). I use the
- following ~/.kermrc, which automatically configures kermit to do the
- right thing. Note that you need to have this file on both ends of the
- kermit connection. Also, the format of the commands in ~/.kermrc may have
- to change if you are using MS-Kermit as opposed to C-Kermit, which runs
- on Unix machines (including Linux). Anyway, here it is:
-
- set flow none
- set parity space
- set window 5
- set receive packet 512
- set send packet 512
- set block-check 3
- set file type binary
- set file name literal
