What version of Kermit are you using?  The copy I got from Ray (admittedly
a beta version) has DEL sending ^H and INST sends DEL.  This a real
annoyance for those of us who use Emacs (quick, some Emacs user back me up
on this - or am I the only one dumb enough to use Emacs  coming from a 64
at 1200 baud?) since ^H calls up Emacs help.
