I have been having troubles with CCA-Emacs when I use Kermit.
Although the H19 termcap entry does a fine job, I have an
Alt key that sets the eighth bit for each char ( after I rebind
everything locally ). My problem is that the H19 description somehow
disables EMACS recognition of true Meta chars. If I invoke ann-arbor
amassador as my terminal type, eigth bits are recognized both from
an actual ambassador OR from the PC running Kermit. AAAREADME and
DOC give no clues as to why EMACS is ignoring the eigth bit for certain
terminal types. The same bad behavior is exhibited if I tell EMACS
I am a VT52 or a VT100. Any suggestions?

Thanks
