    Assuming you've done the 
                 % tip dialer
    drill and have then ATDT'ed onto a remote host, how does one manage
    doing Kermit protocol binary format file transfers?

if you're going to use kermit to transfer files, you don't need to
touch tip.  start kermit, aim it at your serial port, say 'connect' to
do tip-type stuff, and then c-\ c (to get back to giving kermit
commands) when you're ready to transfer files.

(kermit also has stuff for doing the dialing automatically, but i've
never bothered to figure it out -- instead, i just define a macro to
do the ATDT stuff)
