Unfortunatley, this .INI file is not a "drop-in" replacment for the kermit.ini
I've provided for Synchronet sysops.

Since Synchronet doesn't allow users to resume uploads, this point is moot. If
a file transfer is aborted, the file is deleted and removed from the database.
If a file exists in the database, Synchronet does not allow a user to upload
the same filename, so no "transfer recovery" is possible.

This option increased the amount of time MS-Kermit will wait for the first
packet from the sender, so it achieve the results I was looking for.

Perhaps we have different definitions of "ASCII Upload", but my definition is
just raw ASCII, terminated by a Ctrl-Z char usually. This has nothing to do
with Kermit or any other transfer "protocol".
