Thanks for the responses, all.
Most of the responses to my question about using kermit
to transfer files included advice about a null modem
cable, and using server mode on the PC.
I've done both of these things, and in fact the server (PC)
actually knows it is supposed to be receiving -- but can't
do it. It retries till it quits.  I was wondering if there
was some obscure protocol change I had to do, handshaking,
etc...I've tried most of the permutations.

As for my cabling, I am using a null modem adapter between the
cables, and while I don't remember the complete wiring for 
both Mac and PC cables, both the cables talk separately (without
the null-modem adapter) to a modem and transfer via kermit to
a remote machine just fine.

Any clues?

Thanks again,
