There is a simnple explanation (I hope): MS-Kermit in Ascii mode (like
all DOS programs handling text) introduces extra CR-LF  characters at
the end of each line; look at a file transferred this way with emacs,
and you'll see the ^M-s. 
Binary (or Image) mode will produce an exact image of the .ps file (or
a binary file).   havee set my MS-Kermit to binary by default (same on
the NeXT kermit), and let the Unix box handle the resulting files;
this way I had no problem with postscript, dvi-files, or others. 
Annother useful hint:
Usse the unix compress available for MS-DOS (compressed at 14 bits)
and then uncompress the files at the other end.  This not only speeds
up things, but avoids CR-LF problems. 

Greetings,
