Yes, Kermit will do 1500, 1600 or higher if you use long packets, sliding
windows, and control-character unprefixing. Also enable compression and
error correction in the modem, and use hardware flow control (our dialing
scripts do this for you automatically). For details about long packets and
sliding windows, read the manual(s). Control-character unprefixing is a
relatively recent addition, documented in the appropriate "update" file,
KERMIT.UPD (MS-DOS Kermit) or ckcker.upd (C-Kermit).
