Try setting setting Kermit's buffer size down to 8 or 4 K.  CP/M Kaypros have
very slow disk i/o, particularly writes.  It actually writes each physical
(512 byte) sector 4 times!  The ROM enhancements (e.g. Advent TurboROM)
eliminate this.  The TurboROM actually provides 4 times faster writes and
2 times faster reads.
