Ok. I wasn't aware that kermit is a protocol supporting file transfers over
serial line. I always thought that it's just a software suit supporting
xmodem/ymodem/zmodem file transfers over RS-232. As I understand, most
popular implementations of kermit protocol are C-Kermit and Kermit95, which
both support (over external modules) xmodem/ymodem/zmodem over RS-232 as
well.

Martin
