I tend to use "cu | tee logfile" if I need to capture any data (yes
you have to capture it all even if you don't want most of it), and
I have a little shell script that passes the options to cu, then strips
the CR's from the logfile when the session is over. 

But, if you want to send a file from kermit without using the kermit
protocol, just use the shell escape and re-direct output to the tty port
you are using.  I.e. "! cat file >/dev/tty000", or perhaps you might
wrap the cat command in a shell script that does appropriate stty's
before and after.  Unlike cu, kermit stops reading the port during shell
escapes, so you can also run alternate transfer protocols like rz/sz.
Note that the space after the "!" is significant to kermit.
