- You might try using "-e 1000" on the "kermit -s" command. This option
- tells kermit to use 1000 byte buffers. On my system, the default
- buffer size is something like 100 bytes, and specifying this option
- _significantly_ increases throughput. Of course, both kermits (host
- and target) must be running a version of Kermit that supports the
- large block size.
