Re: Kermit via net?

[Rick Conn]

Hello, Sam,

	Yes, there is a "trick" to using KERMIT over the MILNET
(or any part of the DDN).  The @ character is filtered, for one (you
have to send two @'s to get one thru).  For another, the TACs may be
set up in a lot of different ways, such as recognizing XON/XOFF flow
control.  This is another trap.

	The KERMIT I use on SIMTEL20 (which should be similar to your
KERMIT under VMS) allows for this and runs nicely.  The following
is my init command file which sets up my KERMIT for DDN transfers:

SET RETRY PAC 60
SET REC PAC 58
SET SEN PAC 94
SET FILE 7-BIT
SET REC TIM 90
SET SEN TIM 90
SET TVT ON
SET ITS ON

	I hope this helps.

		Rick

Re: Reply to Jerry's Export Control Memo

I agree with Sam.  We need some advice on this "export" issue.  The more
I think about it, the more it worries me.  I give Ada code and education
material to anybody who asks for it.  Also, I teach Ada to foreign
students every year.  Could I be prosecuted?  It seems this is something
the AJPO should be advising us on.

Kermit via net?

["Samuel S. Harbaugh"]

Anyone have success using Kermit via MilNet? If yes, what's
the trick? I can't get it to get the transfer started. Does
the net filter some character(s)? Is it a timing problem?
