You can definitly only transfer binary files with UniTerm Kermit if you have
binary mode set (the 8th bit is explictly stripped if binary mode is not
turned on) (but uuencoded files are not binary in this sense).

Typical situation where this will occur is:

   UniTerm 8 Bit, no parity

   Serial connection somewhere along the line != 8 Bit, no parity

7 Bit text transfers will work with this combination, 8 Bit binary
will not! (setting the RS232 port to the proper settings will force
the transfer to 7 bit binary with prefixing).
