I don't use server mode. Just type 'kermit -s *.c' on the Iris. The shell
will expand the wild cards. Add the "-p e" option to set even parity
(wrong parity causes problems for people around here about once a day), and
"-i" if you want to transfer binary files. The whole process requires less
typing than server mode.
