I have downloaded a copy of Kermit V2.2 from Q-Link and am having extreme difficulties with it. I am trying to determine whather it is a problem with the Q-Link version or more general. I am not alone in experiencing the problems. The difficulty seems to be with the keyboard. The characters "a", "d", "g" and "j" when pressed do not appear on the screen and in local mode only when help. The letter"j" seems to produce a Control M after screen printing. The letter"z" is only available in upper case - shades of GEOWrite2.0. In addition, though V2.1 accepted modem commands, "atdt" in lower case, only upper case has any effect. As you can guess, with difficulty on the "a" and "d" keys it is awkward to dial the modem and with the "j" key sending a CR, I cannot enter my handle "emjay". To assist, I am using a C=128 without upgrade ROMS and a Supre 2400 modem and the screen-driver is Commodore 128. The above seems to happen without regard for baud setting. I have had no difficulty with Kermit V2.1. -- Michael J. Lavery Big Electric Cat Public UNIX ..!cmcl2!phri!dasys1!emjay

And the solution is simple. You must have a 1351 mouse plugged in to your machine. Unplug it. The keyboard problem will go away when you do. >-- >Michael J.

Unfortunately I don't remember who, so I can't give credit where the credit is due. And the answer is (drum roll): UNPLUG THE MOUSE!!! For some reason kermit 2.2 will not work on a c128 with the screen driver set to commodore 128 as long as the mouse is plugged in. Hey Ray!! Is that a bug or a feature :-)
