I also use kermit to transfer to/from a PC, mainly to take files home.
I have however noticed a problem using wild cards in transfers.  The problem
occurs when I try invoke server mode on the IRIS and then get *.c.  The error
message says something like, no files found.  Using debug mode on kermit seems
to point to kermit on the IRIS not properly exapnding the wild cards.  Has
anyone else had this problem and has anyone got a fix for it?
