Do you have RTS/CTS enabled in Kermit *and* in the modem? Did you use
the SPORT.SCR dialing script that comes with MS-DOS Kermit? Lack of adequate
flow control is the most likely explanation for dropped characters. If you
are using RTS/CTS correctly (i.e. it is enabled in both Kermit and modem,
and the cable, if any, actually has end-to-end wires for these signals :-),
then either you have an interrupt conflict, an unbuffered UART, or both.

sends "foo" followed by a carriage return. 13 is the ASCII code for
carriage return.

Do you see the "Using MS-DOS Kermit" chapters on script programming there
too ?-)
