You don't need to implement the Kermit protocol. Just use C-Kermit itself
for all the communication and file-transfer parts of your application. It
can make the connection, log in, issue any command at all to the server,
do whatever you want with the results, log out, and disconnect, all
programmatically. If you already have a connection and you just want to
execute Kermit protocol, Kermit can do that too.

If you have specific questions, post them here if they are of general
interest, or send them to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
