So what you are doing is specifying a .kermrc file which dials a host
and then you expect the -s <file> command line to transfer the file
with Zmodem?
This is a bit unintuitive. The kermit command line options for
file transfer are meant to be used to transfer files with Kermit
protocol over the remote connection. The proper way to do this
would be to not use the .kermrc file for dialing but to put this
in another script. Then you could execute the script as:
kermit dial-and-send-file-by-zmodem.ksc = <file>
where <file> would be read as a parameter by the script and after
a successful dial the script would say
SET PROTOCOL ZMODEM
