I am using Kermit 3.00 also but my kermit  HAS a dialing directory just
like the other programs mentioned above.  It also does X-Y-ZMODEM file
transfers if I want!  It just happens that the ini language (kermit script
language) is powerful enough that most anything you want to do can be 
written into the mskermit.ini file.  My kermit also auto-redials if a busy
signal is received.  If you're interested in adding these features to your
kermit just ftp TSKERMxx.ARC from simtel20.  (the xx stand for the latest
version number which I think is 30)  Written by Timo Salmi of Finland,
the TSKERM file has a bunch of really useful examples of ini files.
