1) which serial driver are you using with ASCII Express (and are you
   experiencing character loss)?  ASCII Express's Super Serial driver
   will work with or without interrupts, but if interrupts aren't
   enabled, characters get lost.

2) which version of Kermit have you?  The Super Serial driver in versions
   earlier than 3.85 is known to have difficulty with some SSC clones.

3) have you got Kermit working on your //c so you can download 3.85?
