Versaterm handles both Kermit and Xmodem.

Never used Red Ryder.

Versaterm 3.0 handles multiple file uploads.  You hit shift before
hitting the "send" button in the "send" dialog box.  It will send ALL
files in that Volume/Folder.  The documentation states that it works with
both Mac Xmodem and Kermit.  I haven't tried it.  This also assumes the
the host comm program knows what to do with the multiple files.

Versaterm allows you to tailor what file type to save text files as (as
in creator: Write, Word 3.0, Edit, Qued (or random creator for plain
text)), and end-of-line treatment.
Quite flexible.

If you haven't guessed, I strongly recommend Versaterm 3.0.
