Hmmm, I just downloaded minicom 2.0 and looked at ascii-xfr.c -- it uses the flag "-e" to tell minicom to send the EOF (or not) and the "-d"

select ^D vs. ^Z, so it looks like all you need to do is upgrade your minicom and change your ASCII download configuration to be "ascii-xfr

-esv".

But Robert was talking about kermit _binary_ download. Will this still use ascii-xfr.c at all?

No. My mistake, sorry. I got all excited about finding the ^D reference in the ascii-xfr command.

Since I put my left foot in my mouth already, let's see if the right foot will fit... why doesn't "cat" work for binary transfer? It seems like "cat" (IO-Red. set to "Y") should work for minicom.

It doesn't work because the code implements kermit binary protocol, which is more than a binary stream of data.
