fight with Kermit on VMS ...

Hi, my last question for today is about Kermit on VMS. Last night I tried to get CMUIP ("OpenCMU" :-) onto my VAX so I could finally get access to faster file transfer. But the old frogs on both sides didn't want to play nice. After having transferred 99% of the data, they would seem to get into a fight over the very last packet. Ultimately the server (on VAX) would abort with retry counter expired. Kermit on FreeBSD was nice to give me all sorts of tweaks on the settings but nothing helped. Why the last block? If I were on UNIX I would have just send one more block and then stripped that off again, but on VMS I'm so blind. What happens without this last block is that LZDCMP.EXE will say there's a problem with the archive and never really extract anything useful. How can I make kermit behave? And, will CMUIP066 even run on VMS 7.2 (or so)? thanks -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow(a)regenstrief.org Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistant Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org
