Nothing conclusive, but maybe some clues:
The two sets of output are the same except for the broken set having even
parity and thus coming across half in the clear and half from the bowels
of ISO-8859-1.
I've confirmed with jweiss that the output is the same with "n" parity
explicitly requested, so I'd assume that kermit 8.0 broke or changed
something in its tty driver interactions.
The net vaguely suggests trying /dev/cua/a instead of /dev/term/a to
avoid unspecified trouble.
(I'll poke at this in depth at some unspecified future point if no one
else does first; I know the c-kermit code reasonably well, and I also
care about using kermit on an Athena sun.)
