while we're on the subject of procomm, kermit, and unix, i might
as well mention the one major failing i have found in procomm.

i use procomm to link my AT to my 4.2BSD vax.  i want to use kermit to
transfer text and binary files, and i want to use the terminal
emulation with vi.  the vax generates even parity, and i haven't found
a way to suppress that.  on the procomm side, i have a couple options:
set parity to even, or enable the translation table with all characters
over 128 mapped down.  with the first option, i either have to run
kermit in "even parity" mode all the time, with significant performance
penalty as well as some inconvenience, or constantly switch procomm
back and forth between even- and no- parity.  the second option works
fine for kermit and glass-tty applications, but fouls up terminal
emulation -- it seems escape-sequence recognition is done before
translation, and meta-ESC is not recognized as escape.

if anyone else has a solution i've missed, i'd like to hear it.
