Either Kermit is receiving beep characters from the VAX, or else the
beeps indicate data loss, as happens when there is a UART overrun, which
in turn tends to happen when there is a lack of adequate flow control.
What kind of connection do you have between the PC and the VAX? If it's
a serial connection, what is the speed, and what type of flow control are
you using? If you are using a modem, are you sure it's set up for the same
type of flow control? etc etc...
