If not, then you should be.

There should be no need for that. If you are having
trouble downloading, the problem is almost certainly
a lack of effective flow control. This can occur:
(a) Between Panix and its modem.
(b) Between the two modems.
(c) Between your modem and your computer.
Effective flow control (which these days means RTS/CTS)
must be enabled at (a) and (c), and the connection between
the two modems (b) must be error-corrected, or else the
flow control at (a) and (b) won't have any effect.
When you have a Panix connection active and Kermit is in
CONNECT mode, do this:
. Type nothing for at least one second
. Type three consecutive + signs
. Type nothing for at least one second
You should see an OK response. Now type ATI4 (and then
press the Return or Enter key) to see the modem's current
settings and ATI6 to get statistics about the connection.
This information should give you some hints about what is
going wrong. Consult the USR manual and Appendix II of
Using C-Kermit for details. To go back online type ATO.
