You also need to tell your host to send/receive long packets.  With
C-Kermit the commands are "set send packet-length 1024" and "set receive
packet-length 1024".  NEITHER side will use long packets unless BOTH sides
request them.

Hmmmm...I compiled with Lattice and didn't notice these errors (in fact,
the only errors that I remember were from expand.c  Could you be more
specific as to which return statements are in error?  Please EMAIL your
response to me along with your vt100.init and any script files that you
use.

I have had conflicting reports as to whether 19200 baud works.  For some
it works just fine but for others it munges their data badly.  You can,
of course, add this option to your version.  Same holds true for HANGUP.
I will try to remember to add a HANGUP script command in the next version.
