;;; RE: Problems with Lambda Kermit software Package.
;;;
;;; There are two (2) known problems with the software:
;;; 
;;;    1. Software handshake Xon/Xoff is required for Kermit, but is
;;;       is not automatically turned on by Lambda Kermit software.
;;;
;;;    2. The end-of-file character is not recoqnized when a file is
;;;       read into  the Lambda from another system, the result
;;;       is that characters are transfered into the Lambda file after
;;;       the end-of-file character has been encountered.
;;;
;;; To turn on Xon/Xoff:
;;;
;;; 1. Select the Kermit window Frame by pressing <SYSTEM> K.
;;;
;;; 2. While in the Kermit Window Frame click on "Review Parameters".
;;;
;;; 3. Click select the "Prompt User" option of Serial-steam-open-form:
;;;
;;; 4. Click on Execute [] to make the parameter changes and to exit.
;;;
;;; 5. Click on "Connect".  You should receive a "Serial stream:" prompt.
;;;
;;; 6. In response to the "Serial stream:" prompt, enter the following:
;;;
;;;       (open "sdu-serial-b:" :flavor-and-init-options 
;;;                                 '(si:sdu-serial-xon-xoff-stream))
;;;
;;; Note: When connecting later on, use Control-C and Meta-C (if needed)
;;;       to bring back the (open ...) function, and then press <END>
;;;       to execute.
;;;
;;; To clear up the second problem, either edit the extra characters out of
;;; received file on the Lambda, the end-of-file character shows up as a
;;; "not equal sign" in the Lambda file, or write a filter program to .
;;; automatically remove the extra characters from the file.
