218.0. "kermit upload" by TRUMAN::LEIMBERGER (Bill Leimberger) Wed Dec 17 1986 03:28

    I attempted to upload Comm132.arc to the Vax using kermit an
    got a error about kermits internal buffer not being able to 
    handle the file . I assume it is the host kermit .Seeing as it is
    an .arc file I'll try xmodem .However any input on the kermit
    error would be gratefully received.

re:	.0

You probably forgot to tell the VMS kermit that you needed to transfer a non
ASCII file, try:

	$  KERMIT
	KERMIT-32> set file type binary
	KERMIT-32> server	(or whatever mode you use)

You'll get 512 byte fixed length records that won't overflow any buffers.
