- When I use KERMIT for uploads/downloads between VM/CMS and my PS/2,
- I typically get transfer-rates which are 90% of the theoretical-maximum,
- i.e., the baud-rate of the connection. There is **nothing** "slow" about that!
-
- My trick is to tell KERMIT to use "long packets" on both the VM/CMS
- and the PC side. Try it!
