It's next to impossible to diagnose problems like this from afar, but
the most likely cause is something to do with interrupts:
. Two devices are using the same interrupt
. Some software besides Kermit is catching the same interrupt
. Spurious interrupts are being generated by a flaky device
Another likely cause is a buggy modem or motherboard. Internal modems
almost always spell trouble.
Another likely cause is your Windows configuration -- COM port definitions,
memory management, etc etc.
Read all of the hints in your KERMIT.BWR file, particularly section 6.
