The 38.4k is a limitation of kermit, I believe. Can't be fixed.

Kermit hanging up is Standard Operating Procedure. My solution is to back-
ground Kermit (C-\ Z) and just start pppd, leaving kermit running. Also
lets me restart the connection faster if there's a problem--just kill pppd,
fg, and redial.

Third, dunno. I haven't hit that problem. Could it be that you're not
specifying all of the options, so it needs to get them from a file?

You might want to look into using a 'chat' script instead of kermit, esp.
if you need >38.4K. Don't look at me, I still use kermit. (Lazy.) There's
a chat manpage, tho.

Hope This Helps(tm).
