Kermit can be found at:

Of course Kermit runs the Kermit protocol, not Zmodem. However, it can
run Zmodem as an external protocol. This works if you have a version of
rz/sz that works on standard i/o and therefore can be redirected. Versions
of rz/sz issued since about 1988 do not allow this. Maybe some readers of
this newsgroup can refer to a source for redirectable rz/sz for AIX.

The current version of C-Kermit is 6.0. It includes arithmetic.
Filename filtering can be done in various ways. It does not have the
ability to traverse directory trees.
C-Kermit 6.1 is in Beta test, and it has improved filename filtering
capabilities and it can traverse directory trees:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
C-Kermit 7.0 will be announced for beta testing within the next week or
so and has even better filename filtering (e.g. full regexes, exception
lists, etc) and improved directory-tree traversal. Watch:
comp.protocols.kermit.misc
for announcements.
