Could you please be more specific about exactly which versions of Kermit
you have on each end, and the exact nature of the connection? What
kinds of modems, etc?
If, indeed, you told one (or both) Kermit(s) to SET PARITY EVEN, then
the most likely problem is a lack of effective flow control in the
uploading direction. The current version of Kermit for Linux,
C-Kermit 5A(190), supports hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control, and that's
what you should tell Kermit to use, and you should also configure your
modem to use it to. After that, you're at the mercy of whatever is on
the other end of the connection -- modem, terminal server, host, etc.
If any of these are misconfigured as to flow control, etc, you will
probably need to crank the packet length down to the largest size that
will squeeze through.
Also, you might try SET PARITY SPACE rather than SET PARITY EVEN, since
an actual requirement for even parity is increasingly rare these days,
and those parity bits might actually be causing trouble.

I'll need more details about the connection and the software versions.
