I would be very surprised if the host's idea of the console serial port
speed had anything to do with the difference. However, some applications
might obtain the speed from OS and adjust their behavior accordingly
(or termcap/terminfo/curses might do it for them). EMACS is one example;
if it thinks you are coming in on a slow serial port, it behaves differently.
Nevertheless, none of this would affect the speed at which characters are
displayed. That's a function of the emulator itself, the TCP/IP stack
(which in this case is built in to the emulator), the network interface
and driver, and whatever "shims" might be installed between the board
driver and the TCP/IP stack and/or application.
So again, you'll need to be specific about how you have set up MS-DOS Kermit
to use the network.
