I use kermit (MS-DOS version 3.14 Patch level 0) to connect to
our Sun's at work through a 14.4 Sportster Modem.  It works
flawlessly for file transfers, and ascii (VT100, etc.) termial sessions.

However, I have a program that switches kermit to Tektronics emulation
and then tries to plot a graph.  If the graph is small, all works as
expected, but if the graph is complicated, then what invariably
happens is that the first part comes out correctly, while the latter
is all messed up.  What appears to happen that part of the input stream
is lost or corrupted.  The line I use is clean, and file transfers
usually happen with no retries.

Is there something strange in the way kermit handles Xon/Xoff in Tektronics
mode?  Alternately is there something special I should be doing the stty
on the Unix end?


Any help would be appreciated.
