Chris:
 
  Your problem might not be in the terminal program at all.  Down here
at UTSA we have problems with that front-end converter when we try
to run Kermit in Yale-Ansi VT100 emulation.  To use kermit, we must go
to LINE mode (Yeeeck!) to do a file transfer.  I'm not sure how
ya'll are set up there, but I have heard that this is a common
problem (Matter of fact, some genius up there FIXED the problem, and
we're waiting on him to send the update on the controlling software
for that front-end Micom!)
 
Try going to line mode and then transferring.  It might help.
 
As far as the next update on the Kermit, I dunno.  Anyone check
CUVMA lately?
