Tried different parity settings? One of the most commonly asked 
questions on this campus concerning Kermit is "I can't get it to
work, it just hangs..." Seems the IBM side won't do squat unless
the terminal side is using even parity - leads to interesting
situations where unsuspecting students call consulting and say
student: "I can't get Kermit to..."
consultant: "EVEN PARITY."
This is an IBM 308x running MTS, probably not too typical a config.
