The PC end is smart enough to figure out if the incoming data is ASCII or binary data. [Some other terminal emulators that support Kermit protocol I have seen doesn't care about binary/ASCII either; of course, there could be exceptions!] I uudecoded PKXARC on our VAX (Ultrix 1.2) then Kermit'ed it to my PC without any trouble. ...
