[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need Help with MS-Kermit 2.32

hello!  i need help with the new version of ms-kermit (2.32 on 11 dec 88).

i have two AT microcomputers (IBM and zenith) connected through a
serial port with a null modem cable.  i am using extended packet
lengths (1,000) with a block check type of 3 (for use in transferring
8-bit data).  everything else is set to kermit defaults (with respect
to flow control, handshaking, delays, timeouts, retries, etc.).

my problem is that i cannot drive the cable faster than 57,600 baud.
when i try 115,200 baud, i have problems with host acknowledgment and
errors.  (i've even tried shortening the packet length to 94.  still,
when the IBM is in server mode, and a "send fn" on the zenith is
performed, about 5 packets get through and the IBM says "unable to
send data" while the zenith reports "unable to receive an
acknowledgment from the host.")

how can i drive the cable at 115,200?  i know that the serial ports will
handle the speed because i've used MIRROR (a clone of crosstalk) at that
speed with both machines.

thanks for any help.  and by the way, this is an excellent upgrade
to kermit.  if you don't have it, you should.
