not being a comm expert, But, I thought that the main attraction of
Kermit was that it auto-corrected 7 vs 8 bit discrepancies,
allowing hassle-free transfers between otherwise incompatible
systems.

Incidentally, I always use Kermit for Mainframe xfers for this very
reason, and Kermit anywhere else the other end has it.
