Note that 4.0 was not a production release of TSO Kermit. If you had it
working, it must have been considerably modified.

The SPEED setting in Kermit-370 has nothing to do with success or failure,
but is used only for the purpose of computing the throughput efficiency.

If your connection to the mainframe is in line mode, i.e., if TSO Kermit
says "Controller is TTY" or "Controller is VTAMTTY", then the most likely
cause of your problem is a mismatch between the ASCII/EBCDIC translation
tables used by the system (VTAM or whatever) and by Kermit. The corrective
action is to make the tables agree, most likely by installing a
SYS1.KERMINI or, if need be, by modifying Kermit itself. This procedure is
described in some detail in the user's guide for TSO Kermit.
