Subject: Kermit: HOW?

I need to know how to use Kermit to download (binary) files from a
UNIX mainframe to my Amiga. I've been struggling with this for a while
with no luck... probably partially due to the fact that I'm using an
evil horrible VT100 emulator terminal program (called VT100/TEK4014
v2.65). This thing has no documentation and locks up whenever I
actually try to use the Kermit stuff (requiring a reboot AND a manual
disconnect of the modem...) However, it is the only term prog I've seen
which does acknowledge the existence of the Kermit protocol. Is there
some other term I should be looking at, or am I going at this all wrong?
(Rumor has it that KERMIT should actually be a seperate program?)
If someone can give me detailed help with this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Oh, BTW, if it matters, I'm dialed in to the mainframe (via a dialup to
the local university, a dataswitch, and then the telnet system) from my
home.
