Hi all.  I was playing with Versaterm PRO (I think it was 2.1) at work
and running through the file transfer routines when I came across the
following.  When Text Kermit receiving from one of our U*IX systems
running C-Kermit, I found that the clock would speed up on the mac so
that the time as displayed by the user's Superclock (3.0?) would
increment seconds in concert with the packet reception.  I couldn't
tell, but it SEEMED to me to be going faster than 1/sec, so the clock
was being sped up.  Am I imagining it? Or does Kermit use 1 second
packets? Or does this actually happen? Anyone seen it?  Thanks.  I was
just a little confused...still am, actually. :-)
