 What kind of configuration do you have for Kermit and the VAX (all
 parameters).  I can't get Kermit to work. I mean it works for most things, but
 it appears to be dropping characters under certain circumstances. For example,
 under VAX VMS when someone sends me a message I only get three characters and
 the rest is lost.  Also I never receive things like messages about how many
 files I need to RECEIVE and how many new mail messages are waiting. I don't
 know if this problem will affect my downloading data, but I would like to be
 able to work it out before I try.

 BTW I have Kermit configured for a Super Serial Card and a Hayes Modem, when
 actually I have a datalink 2400. This has worked for Proterm and Mousetalk but
 not Kermit.  Any ideas would be most appreciated.  I've changed the control
 panel as instructed (modem settings).
