%	Has anyone experienced any problems using extended packets with 3.00?

Yes.  

%I have tried to receive 2000 byte packets from C-Kermit on the unix box here
%and my end seems to ack mid-packet frequently. The throughput is not what it
%should be either. Smaller packets work fine. Debug output shows that there
%are no nacks or any other glitches. I get the impression that 3.00 may say
%it is wanting to receive 2000 byte packets but only looking for 1000 bytes
%like some of the earlier versions were limited to. Comments?

I had the same problem.  I attribute it to not having a version of
C-Kermit on the unix box that correctly understands the 1000+ byte
packets.  I think that these versions of C-Kermit should be forthcoming
soon.  When it happens, make sure to harrass your friendly system
manager.
