Gentlemen/women...

Excuse my ignorance, please, I am quite new to
all of this...
Can you suggest someone, or some publication,
that can help with this situation?

I can successfully use my VAX e-mail, and FTP,
and Telnet to retrieve files from remote machines on
this network... e.g., from Dec.WRL, White Sands M R,
Sweden, and even Sumex-aim.stanford...
I can even use Kermit to move BinHex'ed
files onto my Mac disks... and HexBin them, and
UnStuff them...

But the problem is, when I move a Binary
file... or my network friends send me a binary
file... and I ask Kermit to send it... and I
ask my VersaTerm Pro to receive it... the process
is interrupted very quickly... and is always
unsuccessful. I set VersaTerm to Text Kermit,
Binary Kermit, and MacBinary Kermit. Sometimes,
I am able to move the file into the Mac disk,
with Binary Kermit... but
StuffIt 1.5.1 quickly returns an error
(unexpected EOF) when I try to UnHex.

Any suggestions ? I'll be very grateful.

Regards,
John Stremikis
