> Rhetorical question: Why *not* use Kermit????

non-Rhetorical answer:

Cuz I guessed the asker may have been doing something like
simulating very smart function keys that send arbitrary
text to a program at the other end (rather than simple file
transfer). You can't always put Kermit or some such between
you and the program you are trying to talk to although I
suppose a clever fellow could make good use of a psuedo-tty
running something like Kermit as it's front end...?
