Kermit SHOULDN'T need anything special to run.  I have two versions of
Kermit (A GEM version and the developer's kit version) and both perform
perfectly with the AVATEX 1200.  I upload and download to/from a vax
running UNIX 4.2BSD over PacBell lines.  Packets are sent/received 
with no retries or errors.

The problem MAY be the noisy lines to work that you mentioned.  The AVATEX
is slightly less friendly in noisey environments than the Hayes.  But, at
the price of each, the Avatex has my full support.
