Hello.
I'm trying to use the gkermit 1.00 version for Ultrix11 on my PDP11,
connected to my PC.
I can connect successfully with kermit on the PC side in direct serial
mode (terminal emulation),
boot Ultrix11 and see the system prompt.
I had to put "set terminal bytesize 7" on the PC kermit, otherwise
strange characters are printed on PC when Ultrix command prompt comes
up, but except this it works well.
Now I'm trying to transfer a file, so I managed to copy gkermit on the
PDP11. It seem to work, in fact I can see the help executing it. I
tried to transfer a file executing with -r option and typing the send
command on PC.
The kermit on the PC switches on transfer mode, showing the transfer
status window, but something goes bad, it continues to attempt retries
and in the end the file transfer is not possible...
I tried to change flow control, handshake, etc... Nothing...
I think there's some special configuration of one of the two sides to
let it work, but I don't understand what...
Any idea?

Sounds like parity... Try set parity even.
