The latest and patched version is archived at 

cerl.cecer.army.mil (129.229.1.102) where Emmet Gary also archives his
mtools 2.03 , and RCS.

You may would like to try ecu, available from comp.sources.misc, volume16
together with some patches.

I am sure you know kermit/zmodem/xmodem 3.9

In addition, xcmalt by James A. Woods may fit your bill too.  It is available
as a public domain software and it's author actively supports it.

In my opinion, the most complete PD comm software I have seen so far is ECU
mentioned above.  But it is designed specifically for SCO 386 Xenix/Unix 
products, so some porting may be necessary.

The may be others available but I am not aware of.

If there are enough interest, I will post xcmalt whose author is a really 
nice fellow. Meanwhile I will save bandwidth.

Hope the above helps.
