Is it just me or am I missing something plainly obvious?  Here's what's
going on:

I have MS-Kermit (v3.13) on a 386 over an ethernet connection.  On the
host side, I'm running C-Kermit (5A(189)) on a Sun 4.  With the
following settings I get a average CPS of about 8500 (or at least
that's what the status bar on MSK says).

MS-Kermit               C-Kermit
set flow none           set flow none
set windows 3           set windows 3
set send pack 5000      set send pack 5000
set rec pack 5000       set rec pack 5000
                        set file display none
                        set file names literal

However, when I run C-Kermit from my Linux box I don't get anywhere
near the same performance.  FYI, the two machines are right next to
each other, and have the same hardware (actually, they may have
different ethernet cards).  I connect to the same host.  The .mykermit
file on the local machine looks the same as the above C-Kermit one
except that the file display line reads ``set file display crt''.  I
found that fullscreen did indeed slow it down a lot, and that there
wasn't much difference between crt and serial, and that the improvement
over none wasn't so significant that I wanted to give up knowing how
the file transfer was going.  (Yes, I got all of this from the C-Kermit
book--a must get!).

So, am I doing something wrong?  Is the report generated by MSK wrong,
and I should really look at the host's `stat' report?  Is there
something that I should be setting since I'm going from C-Kermit to
C-Kermit?  Am I so illiterate that I totally missed something in the
book?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
