We can tell you how to use Kermit, but not how to use your barcode scanner.
You'll need to obtain documentation on the what options it offers for
sending its results to the computer. Ideally it would use some kind of
framing, so one could tell where a result is supposed to begin and end,
and it would take into account such things as transparency and flow control.
C-Kermit, of course, has lots of documentation. Chapter 15 of "Using
C-Kermit" covers non-protocol capturing of files.
