[question about why MacKermit seems slow during file transfer at 9600 baud]

You need to change your send and receive packet size to 1000 and set
your block check type to 3 (CRC) to ensure 99.9% error correction. If
you use the default settings, your packet size will be only 94 bytes.
You will lose throughput because of the overhead needed to calculate
a checksum for each of the 94 byte blocks.

Cheers...
