Unless it's obvious in the FAQ...
Kermit 3.11 is... 8 years old?
Try 3.15.
8250 UART at 14.4 on a 286? Hmmm. It would have been nice to have a
16550 chip. On the other hand, I used to have a 19200 direct link on an
8MHz 286 with an 8250, and kermit at the time transferred about 1800 cps.
Frank mentions tuning away from the "works in the jungle" defaults, but
some of the best parts weren't in really old kermit. I don't remember if
3.11 has them.
