Kermit uses the 8th bit in downloading.  Without your parity set to 8, it
will not work properly.  If you can't logon using N,8,1 then just change
the parity of your modem to 8 after issuing the Kermit *send* command.
(Garbage characters will appear.  Just remember to reset the parity when
 downloading is finished.)

I am using this method with ProComm 2.4.3 without any problems.
