        One of my users was complaining about the same thing
        the other day.  He also said he explicitly typed
        set file type binary on the VAX side, but didn't
        have a similar setting on his non-kermit client
        side.  The receiving side sets the transfer options,
        right?
 
        Anyway, I have not been able to reproduce the error
        on my old version of procomm plus or version 3.14 of
        mskermit.
