Use longer packets. In PCPLUS, go into setup (alt-s), then Protocols,
then Kermit (this may vary depending on which version you have).
The default packet length is 94. Change it to 1024.
At the unversity end, edit your .kermrc (or ckermit.ini) file so that
it includes the lines:
set send packet-length 1024
set receive packet-length 1024
set window 3
Hope this helps.
