WinKermit, as you note, does do a pretty good job of doing basic terminal
emulation under Windows. Its file transfer capabilities are, however,
minimal. If the terminal emulation aspect is sufficient for your
purposes, then go for it; otherwise, you will have to stick with
MS-DOS Kermit or use something like the Zmodem protocol in WinQVT
(its Kermit protocol support is also rather minimal) or some similar
program.
