I suspect your problem is your baud rate; even MS-Kermit, which is
optimized to do it's own protocol, runs into trouble at higher speeds
except over very clean lines.  Any additional BIOS/DOS/Windows overhead
(let me say that again ... Windows Overhead) on a program which is not
as fast during protocol transfer as MS-Kermit is almost certain to fail
at speeds over 9600.

I don't have windows up right now, but I did look at terminal the other
day, I don't think it HAS a real server interface.  You might find the
authors of the terminal emulators on simtel20.army.mil and ask them if
they have done a port to Windows 3 yet.  One version, there or at
cunixc.cc.columbia.edu, had the server commands.  I hope you have FTP.
