There are many Kermit programs, and many versions of each:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
Some of these transfer files in text mode by default. The commands vary
from program to program and sometimes version to version, but in general
it is sufficient to tell the sending Kermit program:
set file type binary
Sometimes it is also necessary to give this command (or its equivalent) to
the receiving program too, especially if it is old, primitive, or a third-
party Kermit implementation.
