Using Kermit to transfer files to/from a modern Windows PC

• Hook up a NULL modem cable between the Victor and your PC
  • I used a USB-to-Serial 9 pin, a 9-pin to 25-pin NULL modem, and a M-M Gender changer
  • My USB-to-Serial needed to be configured to COM2 (any COM1 – COM4 should work if free)
• ON THE VICTOR:
  • Boot the Victor with MS-DOS (tested on 2.93, but should work on others)
  • Put in a disk with Kermit and free space (or the files you want to send to a PC)
  • Start Kermit 1.18
  • set baud 19200
• ON THE PC:
  • Start Kermit 0.85 for Win32
    • Found under Win Utilities / kw32x085.zip here:
    • https://www.intergalacticmicro.com/files/index.php/s/hjHb1gWRjPvP1SU
  • Configure -> Communications
    • Baud Rate: 19200
    • Word Length: 8
    • Parity: N
    • Stop Bits: 1
    • Handshake: check Xon/Xoff
    • Port: (whatever your PC port is)
  • Session -> Connect
• ON THE VICTOR:
  • receive
• ON THE PC:
  • Kermit -> Send
  • You can send multiple files at once – just add them to the queue
  • Adding *.* will add all files in the selected directory
• Going the other direction is similiar
• type exit to quit kermit on the Victor when done
