Also, be aware that you may need to increase the "timeout" parameters on
your host's kermit, or you may confuse the poor thing into having a seizure
(can't describe what happens any better than that, in less than 1000 words).

I use the commands:

    set receive timeout 15
    set send timeout 15

in my .kermrc file on the host.  Works on our UTS system, but your milage
may vary.
