  Two possible reasons - one that you dialed out at 2400 (by using the
ability to call at other speeds than the serial link speed), or two that
you aren't limited by connection speed but by other factors, like a slow
computer at one end, packet network, etc.

  Try setting the windows in Ckermit with "SET WINDOWS 10" and whatever
you need to do on the other end to get windows running. Of course if you
mean that the other end confirms you called at 9600, then reason one is
out and you can look at reason two.

  If you're calling another UNIX kermit, you send a file with windows
using
        kermit -v 10 -is FileName

and of course do
        set file type binary
on your end to prevent lots of end of line translation.
