With all the talk about pd and shareware telecomm programs and people
praising Kermit v3.85... I was wondering if anyone else has had this
problem:
When connected to the University's VAXen, and running terminal inten-
sive programs (like this NEWS program or PHONE or some such...), Kermit
tends to lock up when I'm typing and the programs sending a lot of ESC
codes back (say, to clear the screen or realign the cursor or something).
When this happens, I can't even break out to the KERMIT-65> prompt.
Could it be that Kermit is not fast enuff to handle input from both sides
and just decides to <expletive> the whole thing?
Any ideas on whats going on, or any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanx in advance.

This happens to me a lot with both 3.85 and 3.86. Just hit CTRL-Q (or your friendly neighborhood XON key) and things will work again. As to why this happens... beats me! -- ____ ____ ____ __o o__ Cliff Tuel || || || ||__ ||__ \( v )/ ctuel@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU ||___ ||___ || || || /___\ {ucbvax,voder,pyramid}!polyslo!ctuel ^ ^

It sounds like your aren't using the SSC driver. Unless Interrupts are enabled (SW2-6 on an Apple brand Super Serial Card), Kermit will lose characters when the screen scrolls. Unenhanced //e's also will drop an occassional character when the screen scrolls due to a ROM glitch corrected in the enhanced //e ROM. /s Murph <Sewall%UConnVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.Edu> [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)
