Besides setting file type binary on the Unix end, which I'm sure everyone has
already told you to do, you should note this:  I've had trouble transferring
large (several hundred K or more) binary files using versions of MSKERMIT less
than 2.3 (2.26, 2.29).  Using 2.30, I have transfered as much as 1.2 Mbytes in
a single (archive -- zoo format) file with no problems.  I have also been
successful at transferring very large binary files (a zoo archive of the entire
kermit distribution tape B and tape E) using unix ckermit version 4C(058).
