I'd do that if I could get any form of binary transfer to work.  Instead
I'm stuck using Kermit in text mode.  However I normally have a 1 MB
/RAM5 configured so this isn't a big problem for me (except when the
system decides that a kermit transfer taking place does not constitute
and active session and idles me out; I had to split an archive to get it
transferred).
