I have had some problems using C-Kermit on my UNIX-pc transfering files from
it to a VAX (running VMS).

I found that the parity was set inconsistently on the two machines (this is
the SET PARITY {ODD EVEN NONE MARK SPACE} command).  When both machines were
set identically, kermit worked just peachy.

The method used to transfer a file (simple):, get into kermit on the remote
machine, make sure the parities are the same, then use:

		r-kermit> send <file>

Escape back to your local system, and type:

		l-kermit> receive

There are ways of sending multiple files, doing remote slave (server) things-
this is the simplest method.  Try checking the parity and transfering a small
file.
