Tell PC Kermit to:

set transfer character-set latin1
Be careful -- there are at least 4 different code pages on the PC that
can be used for Portuguese. You have to tell Kermit which one is used.
Tell C-Kermit to:
set file character-set latin1
set transfer character-set latin1
Then transfer the file in text mode.
