Hmm.  I've used kermit for years with my Amy.  Works with Unix Kermit 4E(67)
and CMS kermit.  The amiga kermits I use are Kermit and VT100 2.8.

The biggest problem I've seen is that people don't set the file type
ON BOTH SIDES!  Check parity too.  You have got to set binary (image) on both
the unix and amiga ends.  I don't know if this is your problem, but when a
fellow amigan asks why kermit doesn't work, this is usually the problem.

On UNIX, I always use binary for text files too.  The amiga has the same
text file format as unix.

Hope this helps.
