Since upgrading to NS 3.0, I have been having a strange and very annoying  
problem when I connect to my university's mainframe using Kermit.  After  
working for about 45 minutes, information sent to my screen from the remote  
host becomes almost entirely garbled.  I can make out the occasional word, but  
lots of letters are missing, spacing seems to change--90% unreadable.  My  
outgoing data continues to be sent correctly.

I have the screen buffer set to unlimited in Preferences.  I am using the most  
recent NeXT version of kermit available from the archives.  I've never had a  
problem like this before installing NS 3.0.

Any ideas?

Well, I CAN tell you that there is a later version out, on
watsun.cc.columbia.edu in kermit/bin under "wermit-next"

Sorry, can't say what to do cause i cannot reproduce it.
