If all you are interested in is a free solution which incorporates
the Kermit file transfer, it is possible to cobble together a
free Communications Toolbox solution off of parts available
off the net.:
Kermit Tool GH 1.3 - unsupported, as it has gone commercial.
Does not support windowing, shift locking, selective control
quoting, but still very nice. (I do not know if the new
copyright owners, Aladdin Systems--makers of SITcomm and
Stuffit--have done anything to restrict its distribution).
<ftp://ftp.pht.com//pub/mac/umich/util/comm/commtoolbox/
kermittoolgh1.3.sit.hqx>
Termy - freeware CTB shell application
<ftp://mirror.apple.com//mirrors/Info-Mac.Archive/comm/term/
termy-23.hqx>
Apple CTB Tools - VT102 or TTY terminal emulation, serial
tool, modem tool, ADSP connection, XMODEM transfers.
<ftp://ftp.support.apple.com//pub/Apple SW Updates/US/Macintosh/
Networking %26 Communications/Communication Toolbox Tools/>
TGE/TCP Tool - allows connections over TCP/IP connections
(I've never been able to get this to work, but many people
do).
<ftp://ftp.pht.com//pub/mac/umich/util/comm/commtoolbox/
tgetcptool2.0.cpt.hqx>
Additional File Transfer Tools - ZMODEM tool demos
(download only or limited evaluation periods).

markspacezmodemdemo1.02.sit.hqx>
Of course, there are plenty of commercial applications
which support the Kermit file transfer protocol (SITcomm,
Versaterm, ClarisWorks, etc.) Even the shareware program ZTerm
now has a basic Kermit implementation.

Oh, and by the way, it really enrages Mac owners to have
there computers refered to as MAC. It isn't an acronym.
