Re: kermit options..... heres what I remember:

s - send mode. Sends file(s) specified on the command line.

r - receive mode. Receives files arriving on the designated line or
    stdin.

d - debugging flag.. causes chatty output. I think you can use
    more than one 'd' to get chattier output.

i - image mode. This is the BINARY mode you were interested in.

l [line] - terminal line to use in place of stdin and stdout (i.e.
    'kermit -ril /t2' receivesd a binary file arriving on the /T2
    line.

h - puts the kermit in server mode (sits there waiting for requests,
    and it will not terminate until it sees a 'f'inish command.

g - get mode. Issues a 'get' command to a listening server.

f - finish. Sends a 'f'inish command to close down a listening server.
