Subject: msk315 vs. ckermit 7 question

Hello Kermit Gurus:
I have just started using Kermit again to communicate between an HP48
calculator and a PC. Things work just fine under Win95, using msk315 -
Kermit v.3.15 I suppose - as downloaded from hpcalc.org. However for use
under Linux I downloaded the very latest CKermit 7 from columbia.edu, and it
does not work right. The difference is, as near as I can tell, that the old
version jumps into the full-screen progress display as soon as I type
"server" or "receive" into it, whereas the new one waits a long time, and
goes to full screen only after a timeout. By that time the calculator has
also timed out of trying and gives me an error. But when I then try the
transfer again (either direction, initiated from the calculator), it works.
So I assume the calculator with its surely minimal Kermit implementation
does not know how to put the remote Kermit into the transfer mode, but all
is well if it's aleeady in that mode.
So here is my question: What can I do in my setup to make CKermit 7 behave
like teh old version 3, jumping to the transfer screen as soon as I locally
tell it "send", "receive", or "server"?
Background:
The calculator is an HP48S bought in 1992 or so. The interface is 3-wire,
no handshake lines.
The DOS Kermit has no ini file (yet), I manually did set the COM port and
speed.
The Linux Kermit gets set up by ~/.kermrc
robust
set line /dev/cua1
set speed 9600
set file type bin
set modem carr off
set rec pack 94
set send pack 94
set window 5
set control-character prefixed all
Thanks for any help.
P.S.: I just downloaded GKermit and will try that also.
