No, I have not been able to get version 3.00 or version 3.01 of the MS/DOS
version of Kermit to run on the PCT, at least not at 2400 baud. I have not
tried to at 1200 baud.

I have replaced MS/DOS's Kermit with Telix; it has the Kermit protocol
built in and is easier to use. To use Telix you would need a new driver,
one which is available on GENIE. Without the driver, Telix does not work on
most (but not all PCTs).
