When I use MS-kermit (ver 2.3*) at 19200 bps on an ALR 386/220 or at
9600 bps on a Compaq Deskpro 286, and type anything at the same time
as I receive something, kermit beeps at me an looses received characters.
Is this expected behavior? Can I do something to avoid it? Can't kermit
keep up with the interrupt rate even on a 386, or isn't it even using
interrupts on these machines?

Kermit is practically useless as a terminal emulator to run full screen
editing through, if I can't type anything at the same time as the screen
updates.  And lower baudrates are too anoying to use.
