I wanted to save an ASCII copy of my HLP49 library, so I de-BZed it
(final size: 105K) and tried sending it to the laptop with Kermit. I
had 230K free in Home, and lots and lots free in ports 1 and 2. Yet I
kept getting "Insufficient memory" errors when I tried to send it from
either port, or (in a later test) from Home. It also transferred
easily, if unreadably, with Xmodem.

My workaround was to split it into three, and that worked okay, if
inconveniently. The question: is there a limit to file size with
Kermit?

105K for storage plus 105K for the data that kermit is going to transfer
(yes the object is duplicated) plus a few bits here and there, you are
running pretty close to 230K

Empty 49 has 240K free, so nothing else fits in

Just to be sure I suggest rebooting with backspace held down
to DETACH all libs and then only ATTACH BZ lib if needed.

I would also loose LASTARG and Last Stack using [MODE] key
and checking the proper boxes

Naturally all other VARS needs to be put on the Flash or send to PC

Thanks for the reply. Wow, Kermit ASCII sure is a memory hog...

I guess sending large files in sections is the only workaround.
