I would suggest that you get a copy of VLT and the xprkermit.library
from someone and then ftp a copy of one of the newer c-kermits from 
columbia. You can then compile it on your host system and have 1000
byte packet support.  That REALLY speeds things up on a packet switched
network like the milnet.  Forget trying to use XMODEM from a TAC not because
of delay/latency but because it is an ascii box ditto for zmodem.  I
do not have the complete address for columbia but if you look at
comp.protocols.kermit they should tell you.  the xprkermit.libray has
the actual kermit protocol implementation in it and vlt will not work
without it.  I use a similiar setup all the time when I call our vax
across our terminal servers.
Good luck
