Good point. It's been so long since I've used it that I forget the details. The main point I wanted to make was that you can't use kermit on one end and zmodem on the other, which is what I understood that Andy was trying to do. As long as there are people here who know how to use this stuff (better than me), Andy should be able to get help with his file transfers. Howard E.
