| 2188.1 | Real quick explination... | WJG::GUINEAU | | Thu Feb 02 1989 12:47 | 14 |
| With KERMIT, one end needs to be a "server". Try this:
Run kermit on Amiga.
Log into VAX.
Run kermit on VAX.
on VAX side, type KERMIT_32> SERVER
then to get back to your local kermit, type ^]C (that's control-right_bracket,
then "C")
now from local kermit SEND file will send to vax,GET file will recieve from vax.
typing BYE will log off vax, FINISH will disconnect server. Then CONNECT
will get you back to the VAX side.

| I tried that but it did not work so well. I put the remote kermit in server
mode and tried to send a normal text file (9 bytes). What happened was that
he printed 'ISN%N%N%N%NN%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%' on the screen and then
'Timed out'. There was a pause between every character displayed on the
screen. Same thing happened with receive.

| Are you going through a LAT or something?
I think KERMIT gets wierd if the line is (or isnt?) eightbit. Or maybe the
path is not all the same.
Maybe something is not set to passall and it strips off some of kermit's
control characters and messes things up?

| 2188.4 | Check other notes and slow down | CAM::ARENDT | Harry Arendt CAM:: | Fri Feb 03 1989 09:11 | 15 |

Lars,
Start by doing a DIR/TITLE=KERMIT *.* and grab all the previous
notes on file transfer using kermit, xmodem, and zmodem. These
may contain the answer you require and some information that will
interest you about file transfers. One of those notes in particular
details the trouble I had with kermit and xmodem, in the end (after
6 months of on and off problems) it turned out to be a speed problem.
When I slowed my modem from 2400 to 1200 all my problems went away.
Regards and good luck,
Harry

| 2188.5 | LATs a problem? | MEIS::ZIMMERMAN | Ninja turtles fight with honor! | Sun Feb 05 1989 12:03 | 8 |
| re .3
For the record, I dial into a LAT and have had no problems. I've got
a Scholar but have never been able to get a clean connection at 2400.
At 1200, though, my line is almost garbage free, and Kermit works
fine.

| 2188.6 | I can copy files but... | STKEIS::LJONSSON | | Mon Feb 06 1989 04:20 | 15 |

This is what happens :
I get connected to a DECserver. After I log in I set my session
to passall and pasthru (on the DECserver), I set my terminal to
eight bits (set term/eightbit). Then I startup kermit. First I set
the file type to binary and then start up the server mode. On my
amiga I run a Basic program I found on the net (VT100.BAS) and select
the option 'Kermit receive'.
I've managed to copy files, but I can't unarc them! If I'm lucky
I can unarc every tenth file in the archive. Any more suggestions??

| You seem to be having some of the same problems that I had long
ago... Step 2 may be your problem.
I was having problems copying files from VAX to AMIGA for a long
time. (See note 479, 1085.2). However, I've finally settled in on a few
things that give me consistently good transfers.
1) If you are using a VT100 or VT200 emulator
check the COMM SETUP - XFER MODE in the pulldown menu,
it should be set to IMAGE
2) check the file you want to transfer on the VAX before
you spend a lot of time. A significant number of .ARC
files are bogus or are not in proper formats.
- use VMSSWEEP to list the .ARC
- if VMSSWEEP fails then use
$ CVTARC V xyz.ARC XYZ.ARC
- use VMSSWEEP to list the new .ARC
- if it still fails then don't bother transferring
3) RUN KERMIT
SET FILE TYPE BINARY
SERVER
4) use the KERMIT GET function from your AMIGA
If you still are having problems, I found that using PREFERENCES
to set the number of STOP BITS to 2 (two), even though my modem
is set to 1 (one), significantly improves the quality of data
transferred.

| Thanks for all your help! I finally managed to get my first file
over successfully.
I changed VT100.BAS so that it could copy more than 32767 characters
then I transfered VT200.ARC. The archive was partly corrupt, but
I managed to extract 'VT200' then I copied other fonts to the fonts
that VT200 needed to start up. Tomorrow I am going to copy over
the original VT200 fonts using VT200.
