I'm pretty sure you're right - I ran some diagnostics (ASQ that came with
386MAX that came with MS C 7.0) to see what it had to say about my serial
ports and IRQs, and buried in the output I found:
CPU Speed = 0.9 MHz
I had a snapshot of the same diagnostic from 4/95 showing the correct
speed of 25MHZ, so something has indeed failed. The system doesn't run
any slower than it used to in general, and the DOS time-of-day is
updating normally, but some timing or interrupt circuit must have gone
south.

Nope. I said I'm not using a PM setup, but vanilla MSDOS. I still like the
hypothesis that Kermit is stumbling over broken hardware that older and
less clever software is simply ignoring.

Nope.

"Turbo" mode has no effect on this problem, if that's what you mean.
Anyway, sorry to rile you guys up for nothing. And thanks for the suggestions.
