1. If you have any terminal emulator at all...
2. and have a way to go from ascii plaintext to a runnable image,
I uploaded kermit to a DEC VT180 Robin by:
Start term proggie
setup a time delay on the host to type the ascii code at you.
exit term proggie,
use a pip command to copy the input from terminal line/modem into a file
it took me 3 tries to get a kermit running roughly enough to support
a download, but it worked,
i then downloaded kermit again with the downloaded image to ensure
i had a good copy..
good luck, dunno if any of this will help... it's been years since
i've seen a decmate.
