The //c can use a UNIDISK 3.5 disk (as opposed to the Apple 3.5 disk).  If your 
unit is too old to use it directly (I think there is a simple peek test, but I'm 
not sure what it is) you can ask your dealer for an upgrade to the Unidisk 
compatible form.  This is free when you buy the drive from the same dealer. I 
got it done on my Apple //c when I got the Unidisk.

The only program that I know of that uses Kermit protocol is Kermit.  I have
Version 3.85(I think) and it does a reasonable VT100 Emulation.  However, it 
does not have any macro capability, and can be cumbersome to use.  The help 
files are almost non-existant.
