You might want to get the latest version of Kermit for DOS.

This may be implicated. The 8250 has a single octet receive buffer. Much
better is to use a 16550A that has a 16 octet receive buffer FIFO. With the
modern UART, you would be able to take advantage of additional settings in
Kermit to reduce delays and get better throughput. On many (non-notebook)
systems, the UART is fairly easily replaced, either via chip replacement or
addition of a fairly inexpensive ISA card.
Good luck!
