 True missing characters are a problem especially with non interupt driven
serial cards. And even with interupt driven cards using the old apple 80 col
displays.

 When doing file xfer at the finish of gets finish etc there is a several 
second delay (sometimes after the beep) so you can see is there was an error.
Sometimes you may be away from the terminal and things didnt go right. That 
delay will be immediately stopped when you type any character. So start 
typing your next command (probably only one character unless you have a gs)
and kermit will continue on.
