Hi All:

     Has anyone succeeded in (or figured out a way) to set kermit for
386bsd 0.1 PL 0.2.3, Kermit version C-Kermit 5A(179) BETA, 8 Feb 92, POSIX,
at a higher baud rate than 38,000bps?  I would like to go all the way to
57,600bps but have not been able to.  Anyone have any ideas?  I know too that
I'm way behind in the i386BSD stuff at this point, but I've got an installed
system and it's serviceing a lot of users with little trouble.  I read
something recently about there being no more work being done to make scripts
to update 386BSD to FreeBSD.  I might as well ask - my current system has
customized filesystem and swap partitions and all of the sources are actually
living on NFS mounted filesystems.  Does anyone know/think I could upgrade
to FreeBSD without having to start from the ground up again anyway, despite the
update scripts stuff?

	Finally, my newsfeed in is about 5 days behind right now so it would
be too cool if you could email me directly with any responses, in addition to
any followup to the group, if you deem one is warranted.  Thanks very much
for any tips you can give me!!

-John
