I have solved part of my Kermit problems.  I have been attempting to use an
Apple IIGS with a Super Serial Card and a Hayes Smartmodem 2400 to contact
a Telebit Trailblazer Plus modem and Sun Sparc at the office.  As I was
reading the ZLink documentation it mentioned the Super Serial Card switch
settings, esp. S2-7 must be on, so I figured I'd give it a try with Kermit.
I took out the Super Serial Card manual and reference card and could not
find what the combination with S2-7 on and S1-6 and S1-7 on was.  It showed
each of S2-7 on while S1-6or7 (i can't remember which) off and vice versa.
Never both on.  While I was at it I upped the Baud swicthes from 300 to 19200
which probably is bypassed in software, since I have been successfully
tranferring/communicating at 1200 and 2400 for a long time.  This switch
setting now allows me to connect every time (all of my other comm. programs
AppleWorks GS, ZLink, TalkIsCheap, Software,... had no problem with the old
switch settings).  But when I attempt to put the C-Kermit on the Sun in
a send or on server mode and get the GS to receive, the statistics just
sit there timing out.  No transfer.  What could be the problem.
Will a serial cable from the built-in modem port help (instead of using
the Super Serial Card)?
