Sorry, that should be "-l n", not "-j n".

: 
:     kermit -YqQj 0 -r                     <-- to receive
:     kermit -YqQj 0 -s filename(s)         <-- to send one or more files

Again, that should be "-l", not "-j":

    kermit -YqQl 0 -r                     <-- to receive
    kermit -YqQl 0 -s filename(s)         <-- to send one or more files

: Command line options:
: ...
:   l 0  - transfer files using file descriptor 0 for a serial connection
:   F 0  - transfer files using file descriptor 0 for a Telnet connection
:
Note: "l", not "j".
