There is an OS/2 version of Kermit available via anonymous FTP from
Columbia University (alias keepers of the great Kermit flame).  I have
used it and it works fine.  One little hint is that it will not share a
COM port with OS/2 Communications Manager.  As I have only one COM port
I have to re-boot to a version of config.sys that has the establishes
the correct COM environment and not run com. mgr. when I want to use
Kermit.

I assume that you are running SE.  In EE (I run 1.2) Communications
Manager supports XMODEM in the ASYNC emulators (VT100 and 3101).

I don't have Columbia's FTP address handy.  Perhaps someone could post
or if you e-mail me I can look for it.
