Re: input /nomatch : characters missing

This is _clearly_ a "flow control" problem.

*WHY* it is happening, one can only speculate.

It is quite possible that the 'remote' device is not configured for,
or does not support, XON/XOFF flow control.

It is possible that there is a parity mis-match issue on sending to the
remote device..

It is _possible_ (although *UNLIKELY*) that a hardware limitation in the
box running KERMIT is involved. e.g. the "IBM PC jr" had a designed-in
limitation that it could not handle serial-port interrupts that occurred
during a _disk_ I/O operation.
