SYMPTOMS
Some bulletin board systems allow you to flag multiple files before you download them. When you select Kermit as the binary transfer protocol, the first file transfers as usual, but when Terminal attempts to download the second file, the following error message appears:

Terminal could not receive the binary file xxxx.xxx. Verify that you are using the correct protocol and try again.



CAUSE
This problem appears to be a limitation of Terminal using Kermit protocol. When you use XModem, you do not have the one-file-per-download limit.



RESOLUTION
The only known workaround at this time is to use XModem as an alternate download protocol.



STATUS
This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release of Windows NT.
