I don't know what PibTerm is, but I assume it has some kermit
implementation. Some of the third party implementations are fine, some are
slow, but they all seem to work. If you are on Windows, there is a
Kermit-95 that is available that makes both a wonderful terminal emulator,
and has the latest kermit transfer agent.
If you don't want to buy that, the Windows Hyperterm has an embedded kermit
transfer mode that works well.
SCO, of various rev levels is supported by the kermit project.
Various binaries are available for download, and with no configuration, you
should be able to invoke a kermit server "kermit -x".
Or you might want to "kermit -s filename" to send a file down to a
cooperative terminal emulator/kermit program.
"kermit -r", and then sending a file would work also.
Kermit 95, a commercial product for Windows:

Simple, Portable, Free kermit File Transfer Software for UNIX

On the gkermit page, "find" sco, and decide which one fits.
