As compared to what?
If you were using Kermit on a 14.4 modem, and doing well, then the only
thing you should investigate is the _fixed_ baud rate to the modem.
I find that since most of my transfers are .zip files, a speed over 57600
doesn't improve anything.
If you've never used kermit, make sure you read the reference material
regarding improved performance.
Remember that Kermit works quite well on XT-8088, at 1200 baud.
It can be made to work better than the default parameters, if you have the
hardware to support higher throughput.
My 28.8 Practical Peripherals is quite happy under Win95, MSKermit 3.14.
(I saw my Kermit-95 show up on my credit card, so I suppose I'll be
receiving it soon ;-)
