Hi guys-- (and whomever else may be having this problem)

I am the author of the C-64/128 Kermit v2.2 manual and have been involved in
its development and testing from the beginning.  I have *never* seen this
problem except when something was plugged into one of the joystick ports,
and I use a C-128D regularly with Kermit v2.2 (like now!).  Kermit has been
tested and used on a wide variety of C-64/128 configurations, and all have
behaved as expected...

Are you SURE nothing is funky about your setups?  What kind of modems are
you each using?  I use a Supra 2400 now, but used to use a CBM 1670.

Send me mail if you would like to discuss this further.
