Stephan,
I assure you, those are not "features" of MS-DOS Kermit. My first
suggestion is to reacquire a fresh copy of MSK from kermit.columbia.edu
(cd kermit/bin, get binary file msvibm.zip) and try again. Otherwise
there is obviously something quite strange in your machine and/or the
high bit of bytes is being chopped, and/or you have TSRs operating (or
a very strange video mode) which affect video work, and other guesses.
I presume you have chosen terminal kind VT320, and the VAX uses it
(add $ SET TERM/INQUIRE to your login.com file if it doesn't).
