Fritz is using Olivetti's and AT&T PC's with 3COM 3C501's and typical
COM1-2 cards running PC-Interface, PROCOMM, and KERMIT.

When he runs kermit he gets what appear to be flow control problems

Thanks for posting this Fritz!  I don't have a solution to the
problem yet but I thought I'd post to add support to your belief
that something is awry.  I'm using an IBM-PC/XT with a 3COM 3C501
board running SUN's PC-NFS and kermit v2.30 and I'm experiencing alomost
identical symptoms to yours. I'm on a thinwire with a SUN 3 local host.

I've been giving our technicians grief getting them to play games
with my serial connection which is to a DEC-server.

I hope the SUN and 3COM people are "listening!"
