COM4 being 0x2E0/IRQ 3, if memory serves. No FAX or other drivers loaded.

Reasonable, except that no other programs show this problem. And an
absolute bare-bones DOS boot (floppy with MSDOS 5.0, no config.sys and
no autoexec.bat) made no difference.

It's slow even before I start talking to the modem - heck, before I even tell
it which com port to use. I can do a "DIR" command from the Kermit prompt
and watch one line come out every few seconds.

I found one - dug out a copy of Procomm that came with my old 2400 modem.
It runs at full speed, talks to the modem at COM4 without arm-twisting,
and has a straightforward scripting language. I feel better now.
But thanks for your suggestions. If I happen to figure out what stupid
thing I was doing wrong, I'll post a confession.
