I am using Mac Kermit 0.9 (40)  to talk to a VAX and I find that
the effective speed of file transfer is far too slow.

For example, on a 9600 baud line, downloading a file to the VAX
works at about 1700 effective baud, whereas uploading works at
approx. 4000 baud.   This problem doesn't occur when using Kermit
between a PC and the same VAX, so I assume the problem lies with
Mac Kermit, not the VAX.  Anybody got any ideas what I can do to
improve things?

Thanks,
