Good suggestion; but I'd also check the flow control if a serial
connection is being used. In particular, if you didn't carry
over your old flow control settings into the new MSCUSTOM.INI
when you upgraded then you lost
whatever flow control settings you had made there.
If you're directly connectedd to a multiplexer inside
the uVax, you almost certainly want to be sure that XON/XOFF is
chosen in MS-Kermit. On a terminal server, check what sort
of flow control the server is expecting (a SHOW PORT works on
many Xyplex-like servers) and be sure that MS-Kermit matches
that.
