  Greg,
   We do this more or less all the time.  Which versions of kermit are 
you using (VAX and CP/M machine), what type of files are trying to 
transfer (text or otherwise ("binary")), and what are the symptoms of 
"not handling it"?
   Most problems in dealing with VMS (Bliss) kermit arise from failure 
to use SET FILE BINARY when trying to transfer non-text files, perceived 
parity differences between the two kermits, etc.
