I've been uploading some data using two implementations of Kermit.
I don't understand the results, who can enlighten me?
The modem I'm using is 1200 baud, I'm loading from CMS/Kermit to my 1040-ST.

When I use the UNITERM 1.7b implementation, it takes about 26 minutes to
transfer 10 kilobytes of data !!! (about 6 chars / sec ??)

When I'm using Bernhard Nebel's implementation (v 1.02) it only takes
2.5 minutes. That's 60+ characters per second.

Is there any way to tune Uniterm? Is it always so slow?
Or is it a "user error"?
