You've got two problems:  first, you need to use the FASTOPEN CDA to open the
IIgs port up to greater than 9600 baud.  The modem connects at 19200, but the
path to the modem from the IIgs is only 9600.

Second, kermit has lousy throughput.   Your business computer should at least
have a version of XMODEM.  If you have YMODEM or ZMODEM, use those.
