   Here's a reprint of an early info-apple entry that sheds
light on Kermit and the Laser 128:

Well, I finally had the time (and help, thank you Terry Banks) to get
Kermit up and running on my Laser128.  Here is a little help for others:
  I tried both Kermit 3.81 and then 3.84, they both worked equally well.
  I had to use the Microtek driver instead of the super-serial driver
    (the Laser128 is supposed to emulate the //c super-serial card, but I
     believe it may not be able to handle the interupts so you have to go
     to the Microtek driver)
  File transfers work great.
  VT100 emulation otherwise, it loses 1-5 characters at the begining of
     each new line (fixable by telling the mainframe to add line-feed delays)
     The cursor control has problems.
     However, I seemed to do fine with vi when I was on a UNIX box with it.
I am going to use it to download Z-Link and ATP (once I get ahold of BLU,
where is it located?) If one of those handles the emulation better I will sing
loud praises as that is what I really need. (also, i will probably let them
know praises in a more financial way as well :-) )
By the way I am at 1200 baud.
Any one who wants more info send me some e-mail or reply here.
Anyone with some information on the problems I am having please do the same.
