You might try using "tipx" instead of kermit; source code is available
on ftp.uu.net.

It's a version of "tip" that's been enhanced to interface with
zmodem.  Has a nice curses-based progress display.

It was apparently developed on a Sun; I've been ironing out some
bugs that appear on NeXTs, and with the interface to my particular
model of modem.
