I corresponded with Frank da Cruz (One of Columbia's Kermit gurus)
regarding this problem and he says that it's likely the problem is with
MTS-Kermit. Someone once told him that MTS-Kermit doesn't understand
I-packets and goes crazy when it receives one. Steve Graham may be SOL
on this one because Mr. da Cruz says nobody is supporting MTS-Kermit
anymore.
