HP50g Connectivity Kit Issue

[Hammonds]

Obvious questions fine, this thing has been surprising me (mostly with functionality) for a decade now.

Yes, it defaults to Kermit whenever I go to that mode. I can change it to Xmodem but then when I exit the screen and come back, it is back to Kermit. The Connkit documentation echoes this process (and the result). IOPAR appears unaffected. I had gone through this process yesterday, and also made sure IOPAR had zeroes in the right places (if that makes a difference). Nothing made a difference, unless I am missing or overlooking something...

In the past I had always just used right-shift, release, right-arrow, and connected through the Connkit 'Auto' setting. I'm not sure I was ever able to use the 'USB' option, even though I am using a usb cable.
