The standard distribution of MS-Kermit includes a PIF file to run under
Windows, but it runs very slowly. You can speed it up by running in a
full-screen DOS window with text-only display instead of graphics, but my
486/66 system can't quite keep up with compressed text at 14.4 kbps. The
text-only display probably won't do Tek graphics, though I haven't tried
that. Also, the first time through my MSCUSTOM.INI file, the system
can't find COM4, but a manual TAKE MSCUSTOM.INI works. I suppose this is
a timing problem in Windows.
