Getting KERMIT-80 on my rc2014 Pro. Dual clock and SIO/2 board

After struggling to get the large kermit hex file to transfer to the RC2014 via PIP and DDT I gave up and just used 
 the RunCPM emulator to build it. I upload the KERM411.COM file to my website. This is bone stock with the GENERIC overlay. 
              http://junkman.sdf.org/files/KERM411.COM
              

My setup:
Terminal (minicom) on PORT A (CON:)
Kermit file transfer or wifi modem on PORT B (TTY:)

1) Make sure you rc2014 is working correctly. 
2) Set the main Clock 1 CPU/PORT A clock to what ever you want. 
3) Set the Clock 2 to 0.6144Mhz for 9600 baud. 
4) ***REMEMBER TO PULL THE PORT B CLK JUMPER OFF THE SIO/2 BOARD***
5) Boot cp/m
6) make sure DOWNLOAD.COM is there. 
7) If using minicom on *nix make sure you go to Terminal settings and 5ms to the "Character tx delay (ms)" setting

8) Go to the online CPM bin to HEX tool: https://rc2014.co.uk/filepackage/   
       and load KERM411.COM in to it. It should give you a big hex output. 
       "Select All" and COPY to your OS's "clipboard"
9) PASTE the hex in to minicom. If its working DOWNLOAD.COM will start echoing "...."'s. 
	After awhile you should be back at the A0> prompt. 

You should now have Kermit 4.11 on your RC2014
To point it at the PORT B on the SIO/2 board type SET PORT TTY
then type CONN
Enjoy KERMIT 4.11
