First of all, are you sending or receiving files?  If you type GET on a
Kermit, that Kermit will be the receiver.  You can only do this after you
set the other Kermit into server mode.
 
Second of all, there is another, easier (IMO), way.  To download, type
SEND FILENAME.EXT on the sending (VAX) Kermit.  Escape to your Kermit
and do a RECEIVE.  To upload, type on the VAX Kermit RECEIVE, then
escape to your local Kermit and tell it to SEND the file (exact details
vary on the program, of course).
 
Hope that clears that up,
John
