Rob, mot being a wiseguy, but you blew me off. I had a big problem with the
Kermit protocol. I could download but could not accept uploads. Your
response was "well it works here!" I am not so sure it does, but I'll take
your word for it. But I do know that Michels setup did work with synchronet.
In both uploads and downloads. Just passing it on as I found that many
running the basic synchronet protocol as set up in sync as from the website,
could indeed allow a user to download a file, but upload was a different
thing. He does have a point. I will give Michel credit, he got kermit working
here. most sysops I asked for help discovered, indeed the kermit protocol did
not work on there systems/ Just one way, for whatever it is worth.
