Yes to both.
As noted in the Kermit-11 "beware" file, k11.bwr, and on the PDP-11 Kermit
web page:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/pdp11.html
Kermit-11 3.60 and earlier has a bug with attribute packets. To work around
the bug, tell one Kermit (or both) to:
set attributes off
Unfortunately 3.60 is the latest (last?) release for RSX. Later releases
(with this bug fixed) are available for RT and RSTS.
