MS-DOS Kermit contains not one line of code to change its interface speed
automatically. The only way it can change out from under you is if you are
running a script (such as a dialing script) that contains a SET SPEED
command. But 24000 bps is not a valid interface speed.
I suspect you must be dialing with HAYES.SCR. If so, that is not the
appropriate script -- it is for Hayes 2400 bps modems and below, which
change their *interface* speed upon connection to match the modulation
speed. Kermit therefore must change its own interface speed to match,
based on the modem's CONNECT report ("2400" is a substring of "24000").
But you have a high-speed modem, and for these we keep the interface speed
fixed at the highest one that works -- 38400, 57600, 115200 -- and ignore
the CONNECT report.
So please use a dialing script that matches your modem. If you can't find
one, then adapt one of the existing high-speed scripts (e.g. SPORT.SCR)
to your modem and send it in to us so others can use it too.
