Susan,
The current release of MSK is v3.14.
From your description of affairs the telco line is certainly in
need of improvment, for one thing. And emulator boards are never 100%
or even close to it. Thus I'm mildly surprized that you got it to work
at all. My only suggestion is to transfer to Columbia Univ where the
lines work and PCs abound, but you didn't want to hear that. In any case,
it's not a Kermit problem.
