There are a couple of things you might want to check, both on the VAXand
WhiteKnight.
  1.  Version of Kermit on VAX
  2.  Set the dial in 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity - if possible.
  3.  Set lowest common denominator for kermit classic Kermit, no crc,
      and there is a level thing - I think.  Set to level one.  Most of
      this is in your white Knight manual.
