I have set the speed (with the Kermit 'speed' command) at both > 57600 and 38400. 14.4 is not a "standard" serial communication speed (your serial port cannot support 14.4Kbs) ; it is a standard carrier speed (V.32bis) though. What I do is set my modem and serial card for hardware flow control, then set the DTE (i.e. Kermit's) speed to the highest available. The modems will handle bufferring between them. If you have V.42bis compression you'll actually get better throughput than the raw 14.4Kbs carrier will allow.
