I've been told it's a limitation of Kermit.  On the remote kermit I tell
it to set baud 2400 (default is 1200), and delay 0.  It seems to speed things
up a little, but not all that much.  You might wanna try optimizing any
options for your particular set-up.  (I'm only at 2400, but throughput is
a lot less).
