If the remote host (service, BBS, etc) includes Kermit file transfer
capability, then: in theory, yes. In practice, it depends on its
Kermit implementation. Most BBS's either lack Kermit file transfer
capability, or offer a nonfunctional or barely-functional one.

Such services are becoming increasingly common. Users of such
services are encouraged to contact the administrators and urge them
to install real Kermit software to execute the Kermit protocol.
