Yep. I used Kermit quite extensively back in the day when I was dialing 
into various UNIX and mainframe hosts with a 2400bps modem on my Mac 
laptop.

Kermit totally rocks. You can adjust everything about your connection. 
It saved me lots of time on numerous occasions by adjusting the download 
window size when I got a bad line.

Its scriptability was a very handy feature, too. I could script sessions 
and automate downloads of data from one server to my UNIX account and 
then start the download to my computer, all while I sleep.

I forget where you get the source code. Is it still at columbia.edu?

As for portability, I think ckermit runs on more hardware than NetBSD.
