We have had various problems with the kermit supplied on the IRIS. In the
end I got the latest distribution of Unix kermit from Columbia and compiled
it without problems. Sofar it seems to be performing well  although I have
not had time to check that all the problems have been fixed. 

Cheers, Russell.
