I have downloaded a copy of Kermit V2.2 from Q-Link and am having
extreme difficulties with it.  I am trying to determine whather
it is a problem with the Q-Link version or more general.  I am
not alone in experiencing the problems.

The difficulty seems to be with the keyboard.  The characters
"a", "d", "g" and "j" when pressed do not appear on the screen
and in local mode only when help.  The letter"j" seems to produce
a Control M after screen printing.  The letter"z" is only
available in upper case - shades of GEOWrite2.0.

In addition, though V2.1 accepted modem commands, "atdt" in lower
case, only upper case has any effect.

As you can guess, with difficulty on the "a" and "d" keys it is
awkward to dial the modem and with the "j" key sending a CR, I
cannot enter my handle "emjay".

To assist, I am using a C=128 without upgrade ROMS and a Supre
2400 modem and the screen-driver is Commodore 128.  The above
seems to happen without regard for baud setting.

I have had no difficulty with Kermit V2.1.
