And you have Kermit 95, correct? And Kermit 95 is running on the same
PC as the PDP-11 emulator? In that case, it possible that either one or
both were affected by the upgrade to Vista. If they are on separate PCs
then clearly the problem is isolated to the new one.
How is the connection being made? Is it a null modem cable, or some kind
of "virtual" Windows serial port that is linked to the emulator's DH11 or
whatever?
Anyway, you can tell Kermit 95 to:
set debug timestamps on
log debug
and then send (say) a FINISH command. The log will show where the pause
happened and that will be a clue.
