Subject: [Q] MS-Kermit not displaying characters from remote host

I don't think this is the same as the "I-can-talk-but-I-can't-listen"
syndrome described in KERMIT.BWR; I would really appreciate it if
someone could help me figure out my problem.
When I connect to a modem server with MS-Kermit, I don't see any of the
characters being sent to me. The cursor moves appropriately, the way
it would if the login prompt were being displayed; I just don't see
it. In fact, I can log in normally and run commands, just without
seeing the output. If I do an "ls", for example, the cursor moves
around and the screen scrolls up, but that's it.
I think Kermit is getting the characters from the modem, it's just
not showing them. I have the modem on COM2 IRQ3, which Kermit detects
just fine (it's at address \x2f8). I don't have any TSRs or other
programs loaded. The only other peripheral on the machine is a
built-in serial port, COM1 at IRQ 4. I tried the other IRQs (2 and 5)
because the KERMIT.BWR file said that this was normally caused by
Kermit not looking at the right IRQ; this did not help, though.
The computer is an AT&T 8086 and the modem is a Hayes-compatible 14.4k
internal fax-modem. I used the same modem with Kermit on an 8088 and
it worked great; only difference was that it was on COM1. I can't use
COM1 on this machine.
Do you think that Kermit is getting the characters from the modem? If
so, I don't know where the problem could be; with termianal emulation,
maybe. I have a copy of the MS-Kermit user's guide, but there doesn't
seem to be that much "trouble-shooting" stuff; the KERMIT.BWR was
helpful, but I'm basically stuck now. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated; thanks much in advance.
PS -- hats off to the Kermit people for making this software
available; it's always worked really well for me.
