Note that the hardware limits on buffer size depend upon the type of
connection. Kermit recognizes those limits, but imposes them only
when it comes time to do a transfer. Thus, you can set the packet
size to any number you want, up to 9K, but Kermit-370 negotiates the
actual packet size according to its understanding of the hardware. In
fact, its understanding is not complete, since it is possible to set
up a 7171 terminal type with a large screen size, but Kermit doesn't
know that and isn't equipped to tell when the screen buffer would be
bigger than 1920 anyhow. In any case, 1920 is plenty big enough for
most purposes.
