This is not trying to solve your problem but... I am running kermit at 19200
and not having any problem at all. In fact at times when a file is being
transferred I loaded the system using one of the other virtual consoles. But
I am a 486/33Mhz user. So the hardware may be more capable.
BTW, I even tried running at 38400 (by cheating kermit by doing "stty 38400
>/dev/tty65") and still it worked fine.
