Todd, you simply tell the Kermit on your mainframe (mini, or whatever it is)
to send binary data by SET FILE TYPE BINARY and don't have to tell the Kermit
on the PC side anything (assuming you are using MS-Kermit from U of Columbia).
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.
