Yes, it should work, of course...the Everex is a fast machine, and
9600bps works fine on almost anything.
  
I can think of three things that might cause the problem:
  
Running MSKermit under Windows.  This works ok for file transfer,
and for interactive at 2400, but might drop at 9600.
  
Running the Everex in low speed mode.  You can check this by running
setup (ctl-alt-ins), and looking at the speed setting.
  
That MSKermit may be using BIOS serial I/O instead of direct hardware.
You can check this with kermit's status command, should be COM1, not
BIOS1.  
  
As soon as I get a chance I'll try this on ours, and let you know
how it works out.  I don't think it's a video speed problem, as the
display seems to work fine with Windows and the video games I've
tried with it.
