So it looks like you are using C-Kermit 6.0 on UNIX, which is current.

No, not *before* you dial out.
As explained in the manual, "Using C-Kermit", you have two choices for
how to handle downloads -- manual and automatic:
1. Escape back to the prompt by typing Ctrl-Backslash and then the
letter C, and then give a RECEIVE command. Or:
2. Before making the connection, tell C-Kermit to:
set terminal autodownload
and then it detects that the other side has started a download and
automatically go into receive mode.
: If you have any insights I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

You can find out about the manual and how to get it at:

All of this assumes you are using Kermit protocol, not Zmodem protocol as
indicated in the subject of your posting. If you need to use Zmodem
protocol, all the same advice applies, except you must find and configure a
Zmodem file-transfer program as an external protocol to C-Kermit. This is
explained in Chapter 14 of the manual (the new second edition; this material
is not in the first edition).
