Here's a reprint of an early info-apple entry that sheds
light on Kermit and the Laser 128:

Well, I finally had the time (and help, thank you Terry Banks) to get
Kermit up and running on my Laser128. Here is a little help for others:
I tried both Kermit 3.81 and then 3.84, they both worked equally well.
I had to use the Microtek driver instead of the super-serial driver
(the Laser128 is supposed to emulate the //c super-serial card, but I
believe it may not be able to handle the interupts so you have to go
to the Microtek driver)
File transfers work great.
VT100 emulation otherwise, it loses 1-5 characters at the begining of
each new line (fixable by telling the mainframe to add line-feed delays)
The cursor control has problems.
However, I seemed to do fine with vi when I was on a UNIX box with it.
I am going to use it to download Z-Link and ATP (once I get ahold of BLU,
where is it located?) If one of those handles the emulation better I will sing
loud praises as that is what I really need. (also, i will probably let them
know praises in a more financial way as well :-) )
By the way I am at 1200 baud.
Any one who wants more info send me some e-mail or reply here.
Anyone with some information on the problems I am having please do the same.

This Kermit runs under a form of DOS 3.3, NOT ProDos, but it is *EXCELLENT* in it's capabilities and it's VT-100 emulation is *THE BEST* I've seen. (The latest version even works with such full-screen editors as 'EVE' in VAX-VMS systems!) There are all sorts of goodies such as screen-dump to printer at any time, logging a session to file, and the cost is $5 which includes a full instruction manual!!! And *YES* **IT WORKS** with no problems at all on my Laser 128!
