Subject: RE: demacs, MS Kermit and Ethernet conflict

I have a friend I swap code with, who reported to me that after running
any application using GO32 V1.08 (or bound with it) that the latest version
of Kermit would not work properly with his internal modem card.  Keystrokes
seemed to go to the modem, but the echos did not return (for example, a
dial command he could hear on the speaker, even connect to the remote, but
still silence at the screen).  He was using EMM386/HIMEM.  A reboot fixed
it of course.  He also found that some set of keystrokes involving the 
NumLock key (something like Shift-NumLock AT<ret> he finally discovered 
would wake it up).  Too bizzare for me to diagnose.

It was acting like the receive interrupts on his com port were getting lost
when running Kermit anytime after GO32.  I have an older version of Kermit
and have not seen this problem.  Unfortunately he is about 3000 miles away
and understands little about PCs.  Anyone else seen a problem with the
latest Kermit and any DJ version?
